HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLL TURKEYS
Making these cute Turkey Cinnamon Rolls is oh-so-easy thanks to the any variety of store-bought Cinnamon Rolls.
First, you want to get the your Cinnamon Rolls ready if they aren't already baked in the oven and prepare according to package directions.
While you are baking up your heavenly treats prepare to be immersed n delish fragrances coming from your own. But, back to the directions. Start by prepping all of your fruits that need to be sliced. You will also want to cut your pretzel sticks in half.
Once your cinnamon rolls have cooled and icing has been added, it's time to assemble your turkeys.
Place your cinnamon rolls on serving plates, layer the fruits in rows on top to represent "feathers".
Then add your candy eyes, cantaloupe triangle as a nose and a strip of strawberry as a turkey "snood". (That thing that dangles down around the nose area of a real turkey.)
Lastly, break small pretzel sticks in halves and use 3 on each side placed under each cinnamon roll to represent the claws.
Voila, that is all! It's time to serve and enjoy!
