Instructions
Start by assembling the pear turkey body. Cut the pear in half and place it near the bottom center of a large serving platter or board, with the narrow end facing forward.
Insert two small mozzarella balls into the narrow end of the pear to create the eyes. Place two small black olive slices on top of the mozzarella balls for the pupils.
Use a small triangle-shaped piece of carrot as the beak, positioning it just below the eyes.
Add a small slice of red bell pepper just below the beak as the wattle.
Surround the pear turkey with slices of roasted turkey breast and honey-glazed ham, arranging them in a fan-like pattern to resemble turkey feathers.
Fill the rest of the charcuterie board with an assortment of cheeses, mixed nuts, dried fruits, fresh grapes or berries, assorted olives, and crackers or baguette slices, arranging them artistically around the pear turkey.
Place a small bowl of whole grain mustard or honey mustard near the board for dipping.
Serve your Turkey Charcuterie Board as an appetizer or centerpiece for your holiday gathering, and enjoy the combination of flavors and textures.
