Gobble Em Up Turkey Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Take out about 1/4 cup of the frosting and tint with food coloring to make orange (red & yellow) this will be used to make thier feet and thier "gobbler". Use a few tablespoons of the frosting and tint yellow for thier eyes. I put the frosting in sandwich bags and cut the corner off so I could use this to draw on his feet and eyes and gobbler.
• 2. Use 2 cookies for each turkey. one you lay down as a base.One Cookie I layed down flat, the other I cut a little off the bottom so it would lay flat as a backing for the turkey. Take 7 candy corns and press into the cookie that you cut, press the white pointy end into the cookie cream.Glue this to your base..Using frosting, glue a peanut butter cup, small end facing out to the base..On top of the peanut butter cup, glue a whopper. Breakoff a piece of a candy corn,(the white piece) and using frosting, glue it for a beak. now take 2 candy corns and glue on each side for his wings.
• 3. Taking the colored frosting, I then drew on feet and eyes and his "gobbler". I used candy sprinkles for his eyes.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook potatoes until fork tender. Drain & pour back into hot pot. Add cream cheese, butter, milk & salt & mash well until potatoes are fluffy. Cover pot & keep potatoes warm.
• Meanwhile, while potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery & carrot & cook, stirring, until vegetables begin to soften. Crumble ground turkey over vegetables & cook until meat loses it's pink color.
• Sprinkle flour over cooked turkey & stir to combine. Dissolve turkey base in the boiling water & stir into meat. Simmer, stirring, about five minutes, until mixture thickens slightly.
• Pour meat filling into a 2-3 quart casserole & sprinkle peas over. Carefully spread warm mashed potatoes over filling, sealing potatoes to edge of dish.
• Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, until heated through & bubbly at edge of dish. Remove from oven & sprinkle cheese on top. Bake an additional 5 minutes, just until cheese melts.

Steps:

• PREP: Open both packages of cookies and candy corn. Unwrap 24 mini peanut butter cups. Place chocolate frosting in a decorating bag with small tip, or in quart size ziplock bag with small corner cut. Lay out on large serving tray 5 chocolate chip cookies at a time. (Work in sets of 5 for easier handling)
• CONSTRUCTION: Squeeze a dollop of frosting onto each of the 5 cookies near the edge. Add a dollop of frosting to 5 peanut butter cups on the top, or largest side. With one hand take a fudge striped cookie with stripes going vertical (upright, so that they appear to be the turkey feathers) and place into dollop on chocolate chip cookie, while at the same time with the other hand placing the peanut butter cup flat against the striped cookie so that it touches both cookies. (This is the turkeys body) With a toothpick or very small decorating tip place 2 chocolate dots by the largest part of candy corn to resemble eyes. Place a small amount of frosting on the other side of the candy corn near the largest part and gently place on top of peanut butter cup to resemble the beak and face. Squeeze out two chocolate legs to complete turkey. REPEAT PROCESS UNTIL ALL COOKIES AND CANDIES ARE USED!! **DO NOT COVER FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS AND LET AIR DRY TO ALLOW FROSTING TO SET AND HOLD COOKIE PIECES TOGETHER. AFTER ABOUT 5 HOURS LIGHTLY COVER WITH SARAN WRAP TO AVOID DUST AND LET SIT OVER NIGHT TO INSURE FIRMNESS**

Steps:

• - Preheat oven at 350°F - Prepare cookie dough and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
• - Tip on rolling dough: These types of cookies are always best when rolled on a lightly floured surface. Using not properly chilled dough or working in a warm kitchen can make things difficult. Pre-chilling your work surface is easily done by placing a couple of cookie sheets filled with ice on the area where you will be rolling the dough. Wood is an excellent surface to roll all types of dough.
• - Remove about one half of the dough and roll on a floured cool work surface or a lightly floured kitchen towel, roll the dough to 4 stacked credit cards thick (about 1/8 inch). - Using a round cutter of approximately 1.5 inch in diameter cut circles and place on parchment lined cookie sheets.
• - Roll another half of dough to same thickness and cut circles of approximately 2 inch in diameter, place on buttered or parchment lined cookie sheets. - Place cookies in preheated oven. - Cookies will slowly rise and then collapse; once they have collapsed they are close to being done. At this time when cookies are pressed lightly with a finger they should spring back. - Allow to cool. If they are not crisp enough when cool, return to the oven for a few more minutes.
• - Prepare creamcheese icing, Fill a pastry bag or zip lock bag with royal icing and sandwich the large cookies together with royal icing. Set "turkey tail" aside.
