Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pear
4 raisins
1 walnut half, broken in half lengthwise
4 whole dried apricots
1 sweet eating apple, cored and cut into thin wedges
1 (24 ounce) jar grapefruit sections, well drained

Steps:

  • Slice the pear in half lengthwise, core, remove the stem, and set each half on a plate with the cut side down. This is the body of the turkey. Cut 2 raisins in half to make 4 eyes, and set the eyes onto the narrower part of the pear. Cut a small slice from one end of the 2 remaining raisins, and stick a raisin below the eyes to make beaks. Press a broken piece of walnut, bumpy side up, into each pear below the beaks to make wattles.
  • Trim the dried apricots into 4 feet with 3 fat toes, and place two feet at the bottom of each pear. Arrange apple wedges alternating with grapefruit sections in a fan shape around the top of the turkey, for feathers.

This fruit turkey was amazing! It was so easy to make and it turned out so flavorful. The fruit filling was the perfect complement to the turkey. I will definitely be making this again.

The fruit turkey was a little dry, but the fruit filling was delicious. I think I would try brining the turkey next time to help keep it moist.

This fruit turkey was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory filling.
