How to Make Turkey Oreos

If you love celebrating Thanksgiving, don’t forget to add one of these Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes, Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe (Thanksgiving Fruit Salad), or 30 Minute Dinner Rolls to your menu this year. Now let’s break out the frosting and candy corn and get ready to assemble the sweetest turkeys!

Kid-Friendly Thanksgiving Recipes

If you need an activity for the children on your Thanksgiving guest list this year, consider grabbing these ingredients for a special treat. You can make them ahead of the big day or you can assemble while you wait for the turkey to cook. This is the perfect idea to start a new tradition with your family. Holidays are more special when there are family traditions to look forward to, and holiday baking can become one of those special moments for you and your family. 

turkey oreos ingredients including candy corn, oreos, and frosting

This recipe only requires Oreo sandwich cookies (feel free to use the store brand kind if available), candy corn, candy eyes, and frosting. Look for clearance Halloween candy to save a few cents, and the candy eyes are usually in the baking aisle. As for the frosting, you are free to use flavored frosting if you prefer. This recipe uses plain vanilla frosting, but you could experiment with chocolate or a seasonal fall flavor. You can also find everything on Amazon if you do not want to brave the crowds during holiday shopping. 

Oreos also come in a variety of flavors including seasonal offerings like pumpkin spice, maple creme, and gingerbread. Any of those would pair nicely with frosting and candy corn for a flavorful fall combination.  

How to Assemble Oreo Turkeys

To start making Oreo turkeys, set up a designated area for assembly. You can use a baking sheet to minimize mess, but you will not need to bake anything. This simple no-bake idea only takes a few minutes for assembly depending on how many you want to make.

Start with an Oreo cookie and five pieces of candy corn. Carefully stick five candy corn pieces in between the cookies into the sandwich filling.

Using your frosting as “glue,” stick one piece of candy corn on the Oreo as a nose.

Get ready to serve and enjoy. Prepare as many as needed to serve your family. You could also use small cellophane bags to package a few for easy gifting to a friend or neighbor. Just be careful in assembly so that the frosting keeps the face of the turkey on.
