It's that time of year again which means it's time to share the Turkey Cheeseball on Gluesticks. I do it every year! We've made this guy a couple of times and he is always a hit.
I used felt to create a turkey head. I used 2
pieces, sewed all the way around
with a small hole in the bottom, then slid a
skewer in the bottom to attach the turkey to the ball. You could make a head out
of cardstock as well and glue a toothpick or skewer in between the layers of
cardstock).
Then I added crackers and pretzels in it for
the feathers and loaded up the platter with more crackers.
This makes a lot!
But since it is made from cream cheese, it will
store for a while in the refrigerator.
Easy Cheese Ball
3 packages of cream cheese
1 package of dry ranch mix
3 1/2 c. shredded cheese, whatever you
like
1/3 c. diced green onions
2 c. almonds (toasted)
Mash cream cheese in a bowl. Add next 3
ingredients. Form into a ball shape and roll in nuts. Wrap in plastic and
refrigerate for at least 8 hours (to allow ranch to distribute
evenly...otherwise it'll be too salty).
Serve with crackers.
Make sure to let the cheese ball chill for the 8
hours, then add the crackers right before serving. Do not refrigerate the
crackers and the assembled turkey for 8 hours. The crackers will get soft.
That is the cutest thing ever! what a great idea!
