Ingredients
- 1 head of broccoli (chopped into florets)
- 1 large cucumber (sliced)
- 1/2 of a green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1/2 of a yellow bell pepper (sliced)
- 1/2 of a orange bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 handful of rainbow cherry tomatoes
- 1 handful of multi-colored baby carrots
- 1 rib of celery (chopped into 4 pieces)
- 1 batch of Guacamole
Instructions
- Have your serving dish or platter and one or two small/medium bowls clean and ready to be filled.
- First, place the medium bowl on one side of the tray. with the small guacamole bowl inside.
- Then, arrange the vegetables in a circular shape on the tray. Start with the broccoli florets, then the cucumbers and bell peppers. Place the baby carrots and cherry tomatoes on a circular shape inside the medium bowl and the celery pieces at the bottom of the platter.
- Finally, begin to decorate the guacamole! Details below.
- For the turkey face, slice a cherry tomato lengthwise to make the head.
- For the legs, grab one baby carrot and slice lengthwise a couple of times to make two equally thick slices, then with a sharp knife trace a pattern to make the feet, then gently cut.
- For the beak, use one of the leftover triangles that you will have after making the feet.
- For the snood, grab some leftover red bell pepper and with a sharp knife design a drop-shaped design that will go next to the carrot beak.
- For the wings, grab some leftover yellow pepper and make the wings by slicing it to make two equal shapes.
- For the eyes, use some vegan cream cheese and with the tip of a knife gently dab it on the tomato to make two small tots. Then grab two black sesame seeds and gently place them on top of the cream cheese dots.
- Finally, grab all of the pieces and put your little veggie turkey together!

Notes
