A big hit. This si the first time the kids have helped to cook. Because of tree nut allergies we replaced the pecans with pretzel twists. I broke apart into arcs and stuffed into the cheese ball.

Everybody loved this for it's looks and it's taste and it was easy to make. Use your imagination. We used a row of large pretzels , with a row of small pretzels in place of the pecans and we cut a piece of yellow pepper for the beak in place of the squash. We also used Easy Cheese in a can to decorate the crackers. Be sure to try and find the longest skinny red pepper you can for the neck, it looks better that way. This cheese ball will become a tradition on our Thanksgiving table, makes a great center piece!

Although it took a couple hours to actually make, it was well worth it! It was the centerpiece for our Thanksgiving dinner! For the actual cheese ball: I used real cream cheese (not reduced fat) and sharp cheddar, omitted the deli smoked turkey & onions, and added only 2 tsp Worcestershire, 2 tsp lemon juice, and 1/2 pkg of Ranch DRESSING mix (not the dip. only use half or it will be too salty). For the "feathers" I didn't need to add milk, I just softened in microwave for about 20 secs. before adding food coloring. My colors weren't as dark as ones in photo, more pastel. But it still looked fabulous! Luckily, I found the Townhouse Bistro Crackers after searching at 3 different groceries stores (Gerbes is where I found it). I had so much fun making this... it was definitely a hit! I served with Holiday Ritz Crackers shaped like snowflakes. And I surrounded the turkey with yellow, orange, and green leaves made out of cream cheese & powdered sugar in a press. It turned out beautiful! Wish there was somewhere to upload a photo! :)

I skipped a few steps so my niece (5-year-old) could help with dinner. I gave her icing pens for the crackers and we bought store-made cheese balls to save time and to stay out of Mom's kitchen! She was so proud, she stood guard and wouldn't let anyone touch it!

I made this last year for Christmas and it was a hit. I dont think anybody wanted to eat it just look at it. I didnt use the bell pepper for the neck and head. I molded cream cheese into the shape of a neck and head and then colored more cream cheese and used my cake decorating tips to decorate it.

I made this and nobody wanted to eat it because it was so cute. Eventually it was eaten but only after everybody took pictures of it.

I replaced the cheese ball with butter and used the same decorating tips to create a butter turkey for my Thanksgiving meal. He was adorable and the highlight of my Thanksgiving table.
