How to Make a Thanksgiving Turkey School Lunch!

 

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we are all preparing for the big dinner so I'll keep this one short and simple. I'm getting the actual deep-fried turkey planning ready for our family so I needed to make my kids a fun food art lunch that only took a few minutes to make. So I relied on a few old tricks and added a couple new ideas!

For the Thanksgiving turkey sandwich, I used a design that is pretty common with a few circles of bread and sliced lunch meat in the middle. The tail feathers, eyes, and beak are all cheese. The eyes are black olives. I held them on with toothpicks. I put red Christmas chips in the background. Don't tell anyone that I opened the bag early!

In the first side compartment, I put a Little Debbie's fall cupcake. We already had them, so I thought it was easy to throw in there for a fun dessert. I put pumpkin sprinkles on the top and pecans on the side.

For the second side compartment, I used a leaf shape cutter on the orange peel with some black marker to complete the leaf. I surrounded the orange with red sweet pepper slices. 

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! Pin this Thanksgiving turkey lunch idea to Pinterest!
