Turkey Veggie Melt Recipes

TURKEY VEGGIE TRAY RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the face by cutting the bottom off of a red pepper. Make the beak by using a baby carrot, a piece of yellow pepper for the snoods and candy eye balls!
• To make the body, gather and prep your veggies. We like to wash and cut to sizes that are easy for grabbing.
• Layer the sliced cucumbers first in a half circle around the platter. Then layer the carrots, yellow and red peppers, and broccoli pieces in smaller half circles. End with the snap peas at the bottom.
• Then add the bowl of your favorite dip. Place the turkey face made out of a pepper in the dip bowl.

Stir in the snap peas, cover completely and cook until the snap peas are crisp-tender and still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Uncover and remove from the heat.
