Here are 20 fun Thanksgiving turkey treats to get your table ready since Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Who knew there were so many ways to make yummy Thanksgiving turkey treats?

As I have mentioned before, I spent many years as a children’s librarian and therefore did many Thanksgiving crafts. I also remember that as a kid, my job at Thanksgiving was to fill up the party cups. My mom always had me fill up individual paper baking cups with a mixture of butter mints and mixed nuts, one for each place setting.  Then I got to add cut-out paper feathers to the cups. So, in honor of my mom and my days in the library, I decided to compile my 20 favorite turkey treats to share with you.  They are easy to make, completely edible, and just darned cute! Your dinner guests will love them. After all, everyone needs a cute little turkey around for Thanksgiving!
