I needed at least one Thanksgiving bento to post, so we made one today! Everyone loves a cute turkey, gobble gobble.
I am running on a low food count, since it will just be the 4 of us and a large turkey for Thanksgiving. I know I'm going to have a million leftovers, so trying to use out as much as I can without buying more before Thursday.
Today, we have turkey & onion/chive cream cheese sandwiches on multigrain sandwich rounds, topped with a cheese turkey! The feathers are alternating cheddar and swiss pieces, cut with a circle cutter twice to make the feather shape. The face is also cheddar, using part of a duck cookie cutter I have, the beak & waddle are swiss from the same cutters. Two sugar eyes make for a happy smiling turkey.
To the top, we have strawberry slices & grapes; to the upper right, some blackberries; and on the bottom right, honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon. We had a birthday dinner the other night with lots of fruit leftover, so F&B are enjoying a huge variety right now.
Lunch is packed in our EasyLunchboxes, I love the large space when I want a cute sandwich design.

Cute! I never got an opportunity to make a Thanksgiving lunch. :(
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like you have just the right amount of turkey. I have to have leftovers!

ReplyDeleteThank you all! Should you be passing through Dallas on Thursday, I have 9 lbs of turkey to share! ;o)
ReplyDeleteDid you use cream cheese to secure the design?
ReplyDeleteYes. I usually use dots of it to hold designs down.
DeleteMy kids don't care for peanut butter, so cream cheese works just as well. :)
