Happy Turkey Day Bento

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.

  7. Did you use cream cheese to secure the design?

    1. Yes. I usually use dots of it to hold designs down.

      My kids don't care for peanut butter, so cream cheese works just as well. :)
