Ingredients

1 pear

2 candy eyes

a slice of cheddar cheese

1/3 cup red grapes

1-2 bananas

1 kiwi

1 tangerine

8 dried cherries (or cranberries

1/4 apple

Directions

Peel and cube the apple, then sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Peel the kiwi, cut into quarters, then slice into 1/3-inch thick pieces. Slice bananas into rounds.

Prepare the turkey pear by cutting a small slice off the bottom so it sits flat. Use a drop of honey to attach two candy eyes and a cheese slice (cut into a triangle) for the beak. Place the pear at the edge of the plate and arrange grape halves as feet.

For the skewers, trim them to fit your board. Thread each with a dried cherry, a tangerine segment, a banana round, kiwi slice, and apple cube, finishing with a grape. Insert skewers into the pear in a fan pattern. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve with yogurt or honey dip if desired.
