Folks will gobble up these sweet-tasting turkeys, whether the easy-to-assemble goodies are sold at fund-raisers or featured on holiday tables. "Every Thanksgiving, my cousin makes them out of prepared cookies and candies," says Sue Gronholz of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.

I just submitted my modifications and the rating came out as only 1 star--This is definitely a 5+ star rating.
I modify this recipe by using creme drops for the body (less messy when you eat them), available this time of year and found in a bag, set the assembled body and cookie on a chocolate star with the frosting (looks like feet), melt a square of chocolate and, using a toothpick dipped into the chocolate, make eyes on the corn.

These turned out so cute!!! I couldn't find candy corn (waited too late after Halloween), so I substituted red and orange Mike and Ikes. I trimmed one end into a point with a paring knife to make it look more like beak. Peanuts looked cute too, though. I also bought frosting that came with sprinkles and used them for eyes. That looked awesome! The frosting worked much better as "glue" than I thought it would. The only thing I didn't like is that when you bite into it's head, it's a little creepy. The cherry looks like turkey brain! Haha!

I am looking for a Thanksgiving Turkey cookie that you published in one of your 2005 books. Can you please help me?
