This year, I'm thankful for simple food crafts that make me smile - like these sweet, strawberry turkey treats.
Just cover a strawberry in a caramel apple wrap, add some pretzel and Tootsie Roll legs, and you've got a miniature roasted turkey.
Then, gobble, gobble, gobble them up.
Here are my step-by-step instructions. Enjoy!
Strawberry
Turkey Treats
This recipe will make 10
Strawberry Turkeys
Approximate time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
10
large strawberries
10
caramel apple wraps
10
dipping pretzel sticks
10
vanilla Tootsie Rolls
1.
Gather your ingredients and supplies.
2.
Cut a small piece off the upper side the strawberry so that it leaves a flat
area for the strawberry to sit.
3.
Place the strawberry in the center of a caramel wrap, with the cut side up.
4.
Gently wrap the strawberry in caramel, trimming off any excess caramel with
scissors, and shape it to look like a roasted turkey body.
5.
To make the turkey legs, break the dipping pretzels in half. Tear off pieces of
vanilla Tootsie Roll and shape them over the rounded end of the pretzels to
make the bone. Use your scrap pieces of caramel from wrapping the strawberries,
to make the meaty part of the turkey legs.
6.
Attach the pretzel turkey legs to the sides of the strawberry turkey body. If
they don’t stick immediately, use some softened pieces of caramel to help attach
them.
Strawberry Turkey Treats
are best if served immediately. Store in a cool room. Can be refrigerated for
24-hours, but will start to get sticky if left refrigerated too long.
