Thanksgiving Turkey Vegetable Tray

  • Prep Time: 1 hour
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale

1 yellow bell pepper

1 orange bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

Half a head of cauliflower

2 cucumbers

2 celery sticks, leave the leaves on

1 cup grape tomatoes

1 cup green olives

1 cup of mini dill pickles

4 toothpicks

Round Tray


Instructions

Make The Turkey Face:

Cut a piece of yellow bell pepper about 1 inch wide. Then slice a green olive very finely to make 2 slices for the eyes. Take a toothpick to secure the eyes in place on the yellow bell pepper. To make the snood ( the red fleshy excrescences that flops over his beek) cut a piece of tomato and use a tooth pick to secure it.

 

Make The Turkey’s Body:

To make the body, gather and prep your veggies. We like to wash and cut to sizes that are easy for grabbing.

 

Creating The Turkey:

After all the vegetables are cut and the body is done you can assemble the vegetable turkey. Place the cucumbers in front and place the turkey body in between the cucumber on a round tray. Use a toothpick to secure the cucumber and turkey face. The celery should have the leaves on, as the leaves are the feet!  Place the 2 celery sticks it under the cucumbers and let it dangle off the tray. Then place the cauliflower florets on each side to make the wings. Behind the neck lay the bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, pickles, and olives for feather.

Serve with dip of your choice!


Notes

 You can make this turkey vegetable platter up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge.

Serve with dip of your choice!

Description

Stuffed Acorn Squash


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 acorn squash, halved lengthwise; seeds and membrane removed
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1/2 cup wild rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 bag of baby spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 21/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon each ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375º F.
  2. 2. Cook both varieties of rice together in broth or water with ¼ teaspoon of salt (omit salt if broth is already salted).
  3. 3. Meanwhile, place squash halves, cut side down, into a large shallow baking dish or cookie sheet (you may need two) on parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes.
  4. 4. In a skillet, sauté onion in olive oil until it becomes transparent. Add the celery and sauté a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Using a large mixing bowl, blend this mixture together with the cooked rice, cranberries, nuts, apricots, spinach, and remaining seasonings.
  5. 5. Take out the squash after 30 minutes and give it time to cool. Take a melon baller and scoop out the squash and place into the the large mixing bowl and stir it up. Don’t over scrape the squash.
  6. 6. Press the rice mixture into each squash cavity, mounding rice as much as possible.
  7. (Most likely you will end up with leftover rice mixture which you can place in a separate pan to cook.)
  8. 7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes or until squash flesh is thoroughly tender.

Notes

  • You can keep the seeds and bake them for later.
