antipasti | Megan's Island

Hello and happy Thanksgiving from Megan’s Island! We’re thankful for YOU!

We’ve already feasted and now we’re relaxing and cheering on the Seahawks.

I took last year’s turkey-shaped vegetable tray to a whole new level with this beauty:

Our turkey-shaped antipasti plate

It contains:

The lemon/carrot/broccoli/sugar-eyed head
Cubes of triple-cream brie
Reduced-fat smoked gouda “feathers”
Marinated artichokes
Three types of cured meats
Black olives
Marinated mushrooms with garlic
Whole baby corn
Extra-long asparagus

And a couple more photos, since I love this thing and there isn’t too much left to look at– it got devoured!

I used tacky glue to attach the head features this year. I’d recommend the super glue we used last year, but the tacky glue worked

I love this thing! So cute AND delicious!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week– I caught the crud that seems to be going around and it settled in for awhile. I hope I start feeling better soon! I’d like to be close to 100% for Thanksgiving and my annual Black Friday shop-a-thon.

My Thanksgiving vegetable tray turned out so well last year, my parents have asked me to bring an appetizer again this year for our festivities.

I’ve scoured the internet (twist my arm!) and found some great new ideas. I won’t have a photo until Thursday, when I actually build the thing, but I’ve decided to take last year’s veggie tray and add olives, cheeses, and cured meats and make it a full-on antipasti platter, shaped as a turkey! Genius, right? And surprisingly, it doesn’t really exist on the internet. There is a first time for everything!

If turkey-shaped veggie and antipasti platters aren’t your thing, here are some other great ideas for Thanksgiving appetizers. I hope you have a great {short!} week!
