Over Thanksgiving, there is basically one kind of dessert at my house, pie. Rather than baking what is already well-known, I decided to help make an essential part of the Thanksgiving tradition, the appetizer. Rather than making a traditional cheese ball, I decided to add a twist. So this Thanksgiving, my family and I enjoyed a Turkey shaped cheese ball!

Ingredients

  • 2 large package cream cheese
  • 1 jar Old English cheese spread
  • 1 jar Olive and Pimento cheese spread
  • 1 package dry Hidden Valley Ranch mix
  • Chopped pecans (as desired)

for Turkey shaped cheese ball

  • slice of red bell pepper

  • 2 slices of a black olive

  • 1 whole pecan

  • crackers of any kind

Instructions

  1. Simply blend all ingredients, except the pecans, until smooth.
  2. Shape into a ball, and cover with chopped pecans

for Turkey shaped cheese ball

  1. Add an additional ball of cheese spread on top and cover with pecans as well.

  2. Place olives on top ball for eyes.

  3. Stick the whole pecan, under the eyes, for a beak.

  4. Place the red bell pepper slice under the pecan to look like a gobbler.

  5. Fan the crackers out behind the cheese ball to look like feathers.
