THANKSGIVING TURKEY COOKIES

THANKSGIVING TURKEY COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Begin by cutting one cookie into its 9 individual petals using the indentations of the cookie and the center as your guide. Use a sharp knife and be careful not to break the cookie as you cut. This will yield 9 individual petals or turkey heads.
• Cut the 9 remaining cookies to form the bodies and tails. Cut across the cookie in a straight line so that one side has 5 petals and the other side has 4 petals. Try to cut the cookie in a way so as to keep the petals whole.
• Apply white icing to the larger (5 petal) half of the cookie to adhere the smaller (4 petal) cookie. Apply another dollop of the white icing on the center of the smaller cookie to adhere the head. Repeat with all 9 turkeys.
• Place small drops of white icing to the back of the candy eyes and affix them to the head of the turkey. Use the red icing to make a 'snood' (who knew that was what it was called?) and outline the tail feathers. Let the turkeys set before standing them up. Enjoy!

WORLD'S SIMPLEST THANKSGIVING TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pull the neck and giblets out of the cavity; ditch the liver and save the rest of the giblets for gravy. Dry the turkey with paper towels, then season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill the turkey with aromatics like chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs, then place breast-side up in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter. Tent with foil and roast for 2 hours (for a 10- to 12-pound turkey; add an extra 15 minutes per pound for larger birds). Remove the foil, baste with more melted butter and crank the oven to 425 degrees F. Roast for another hour or until the meat at the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Let rest while you make the gravy.
