Turkey Charcuterie Board for Thanksgiving

How to Make a Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board

Make an adorable Thanksgiving themed charcuterie board this holiday! It looks like a turkey with cheese feathers spread out! There are so many different ways to decorate your board but here is what we did. Also, make sure to check out our Cornucopia Charcuterie Cups and Christmas charcuterie board!

You could also create a small “gobble” next to the beak with something red!

Feel free to add grapes or fruit instead of cherry tomatoes! The possibilities are endless. I used an Easter egg cookie cutter, Alphabet cutters, and candy eyes from Amazon!
