Instructions

Cut out cookie dough with scalloped cookie cutter
With an edible pen, draw a horizonal line above lower two scallops
Using brown royal icing, I outlined and flooded in the body area for the turkey. The shape is similar to a peanut in the shell. Rounded upper body that indentions in at the waist and then rounds out again
The four remaining scallops become the feathers for the turkey. I started with orange colored royal icing and outlined and flooded the first feather. The feet were then added.Ensuring that the body ( brown icing) was set on top) I added an upside down traiangle for the peek.
The scallop to the far right was outlined and flooded with yeallow royal next on all the cookies.
I followed by back to the scallop next to the orange feathers and outlined and flooded with grren icing.
The last feather was outlined and flooded with the red icing.
Next I added white for the eyes and placed a small black ciricle of icing in the center of the eyes. One some I made one eye larger that the other givng the turkey a funny look
Last… but not least, I added the red gobble gobble( wattle- offical name) hanging down from the peak
