I do these all the time!They are really easy to make.

You have the round biscuit sitting on the board in front of you. Cut off the bottom 1/4. With what's left, make marks with your knife to make it look like turkey feathers. Then, with the piece that you cut off you are going place it on edge ontop fo the "feather" portion, and tuck one end behind. This cutt off piece you are then going to push down into the other part so it doesn't pop off, and "mold" the head of the turkey.

This probably isn't making much sense, it's more of "live" illustration.
 
Hi there! I have actually made these turkey biscuits before and they are always a hit at Thanksgiving. I know the directions may seem a bit confusing, but once you start assembling them, it will make more sense. The key is to make sure you cut the biscuit in just the right way and fold it properly to create the turkey shape. As for the serving suggestions, the platters and trays mentioned are all great options for a festive Thanksgiving table. And using the crinkle cutter for the butter is a fun touch! Let me know if you have any other questions or if you try these out. Happy cooking!
