Ingredients

  • Sugar cookie dough You can either make your own from scratch using your favorite recipe or opt for a pre-made sugar cookie mix for convenience.
  • Buttercream frosting You can use store bought or homemade buttercream.
  • Starburst
  • Skittles
  • Caramel sauce
  • Turkey leg cookie cutter There are different shapes to choose from. This is the cookie cutter I got as it was the quickest to arrive but modified the shape of the cookies.
  • 3 compartment container

Instructions

  • Make and roll out sugar cookie dough. Using turkey leg cookie cutter cut out turkey leg cookie shapes. I modified the shape of mine after I cut them out and made them skinnier and cut the extra bone off on the sides.
  • Bake per directions on package or using your favorite sugar cookie recipe and allow to cool.
  • Place the cooled cookies in the large part of the container.
  • Using an ice cream scooper, scoop a generous amount of buttercream frosting for the mashed potatoes and place in one of the smaller compartments.
  • Make a divot in the middle and add caramel sauce to the divot to resemble gravy. Add an unwrapped yellow Starburst on top of caramel sauce to resemble butter.
  • In the last compartment add a handful of green Skittles to resemble peas. Cut up a few orange Starburst into fours and add on top of Skittles to resemble carrots.
  • Add lid on top until ready to decorate.
