I've been trying to come up with an idea for Deviled Egg Turkeys for a while now and decided to use Giardiniera for my garnishments. Since the carrots are crinkle cut I just sliced a small piece from between the bumps to make feathers. The cut only goes down about half way. I tried to find a jar with nice red peppers for the heads and would look for wide strips of them the next time (the one in the middle looks like he already met with the farmer...) I just cut the tips into a point, kinda beak-ish.
For my second attempt I made thin slices from the carrot and celery and stuck them in individually as feathers. I do think the green tames the flaming orange. The heads are the same although Stubby stumbled over to the left...
If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen...
So, how are your Thanksgiving plans coming along?
Have a happy day:@)
