Equipment

  • 2 Microwave safe bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 8 Strawberries
  • 1-2 cups Milk chocolate melting wafers
  • 2 TB White chocolate melting wafers
  • 16 Mini Marshmallows
  • 16 Pretzel Sticks

Instructions

Make the Legs

  • Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
  • Dip one end of each pretzel stick into the melted white chocolate. Let dry.
  • Place marshmallows onto the other ends of the pretzel sticks.

Make the Body

  • Melt the milk chocolate using the same process as the white chocolate.
  • Hold the strawberries by the leaves and dip in the melted milk chocolate, so that all of the red part of the strawberry is covered.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Coat the Legs

  • Dip the marshmallow end of each turkey leg into the melted milk chocolate, until the marshmallow is fully coated.

Assemble

  • While the milk chocolate is still wet, take two legs and place one on each side of the strawberries making sure to touch the strawberry so it dries attached.

Notes

Prep Tips:
  • Yield: Makes 8 strawberry turkeys; easily double or triple the recipe for more.
  • Assembly: Work one turkey at a time so the chocolate stays wet enough to attach the legs.
  • Chocolate: Melting wafers work best, but chocolate chips can be used with a little shortening or coconut oil for smoother melting.
