this was a stunning addition to our appetizer table. I had so much fun putting it together too! I added ham, provolone, turkey, and swiss... also couldn't find sun-dried tomatoes so used regular and they did the trick. that spread is very delicious! thanks for a wonderful keeper — everyone was impressed!!

This was a fun project that didn't require a lot of time I suppose, but more than the 30 minutes listed, for certain. I didn't use the dip recipe, but made my own favorite. One thing I do find that happens when you make food into art, people don't want to eat it because it looks so pretty. I use the analogy of "eating a beautifully decorated birthday cake", that usually encourages people to dig in and enjoy. I was in a bit of a rush when I made this, so I made a quick sub of half of an onion as a base for the turkey, which worked out well. I also added a piece of sun dried tomato on the top of "Tom's" head for something of a "turkey mohawk" they seem to have. That seemed to give him a more "finished" look, lol. Sorry for the less than clear photo I posted, but hope it helps in creating "Tom" a little bit easier. Thank you, Rita, for the inspiration this Thanksgiving.

This was a big hit! I think if I made this again, I would make more spread and make a mound of spread underneath. I noticed people dipping for dip and they got the bowl. I would definitely be making this impressive appetizer again.

I made this last year for my husbands Thanksgiving party/compitition. We won because of it! I made a cheese ball and rolled it in crushed pecan pieces for the body. It looked awesome with all the veggie "feathers"! Thanks for sharing. Now I have to find something great to make for this year as everyone has vowed to beat me!

Rita, did you design this yourself? It is absolutely fantastic. I haven't made it yet but can't wait to try. Spectacular, creative and original.

I just realized that I didn't rate this after making it for Thanksgiving, 2006. It was really pretty easy to put together and a showstopper for our triplet 3 year old grandbabies. They thought I was "amazing"! The adults liked it too! Thanks for the great directions.
