Thanksgiving Cheese Ball Turkey

Because how can you look at this little guy and not smile??? 

He's such a fun addition to have on your table.

What you'll need:

Package of Pepperonis

Mini Pretzels

Leafy Romaine for him to sit on

1 Carrot stick for nose

2 Pepper Corns for eyes

4 Shish Kabob spears

Favorite Cheese Ball recipe

Ritz crackers

Directions:

Make your favorite cheese ball recipe. You may have to double the recipe since this is actually two cheese balls stacked on top of one another. Make one of the balls slightly smaller, this will be his head. To make sure his head doesn't topple off, put a Shish Kabob spear straight through the two cheese balls and make sure the top of the spear isn't visible on the top of his head. Fold pepperonis into quarters and slide onto 3 Shish Kabob spears. Once they are full attach them to his backside. Now take the mini pretzels and stick them into the side of his body for "wings." I used 3 mini pretzels per side. Take two more pretzels and use them for his feet. Cut a pepperoni with scissors and make a curvy little head piece. ( I honestly have no idea what this is called on a turkey.. but it looked right). Add the peppercorn eyes and cut a mini carrot into a itty-bitty nose. I also added a little scarf around his neck made of pepperonis. Put him on a bed of romaine and surround him with Ritz crackers... and wait for the squeals of delight from guests saying how he is, "Too cute to eat!"
