One of the best things about Thanksgiving is all of the delicious food! There are so many classic dishes that are served on Thanksgiving, but how about trying something new? This year, why not get into the holiday spirit by making your cinnamon rolls look like turkeys?
This was my first time experiencing a Wildgrain bread subscription box and all I can say is yum. They are the first "bake-from-frozen" subscription box ever. The sub boxes include sourdough breads, artisanal pastries and/or pastas as well.
Their Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls that came in my first box smelled absolutely dreamy while they were baking up. I'm excited to share how I transformed them into the perfect Thanksgiving themed treat.

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLL TURKEYS
Making these cute Turkey Cinnamon Rolls is oh-so-easy thanks to the Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls that came in my Wildgrain sub box this month.
First, you want to get the Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls in the oven and prepare according to package directions. Note that all Wildgrain products are ready to bake right from the freezer.
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!
