How to make turkey out of fruit

How to Make Turkey out of Fruit

First, lets make our little turkey using 1 red pear. Wash pear and cut it in half. Pick the best half of the pear and place it on the bottom of a platter or board.
 
Next, using whole 2 cloves, add them to the top of the pear to make eyes. To make turkey’s beak, use cheese and cut it into tiny triangle. For turkey’s wattle use a little slice of meat like prosciutto, salmon or salami.
