Carving the Thanksgiving Turkey Feast

A grown-up holds a long carving knife above a big roast turkey. Another hand steadies the bird with a two-prong fork. The turkey rests on a round platter, drumsticks turned to the side and wings tucked in. Tiny dots on the skin show crispy roasting spots.

Little berries ring the plate, peeking between sprigs of leafy herbs. The blade points across the breast, ready to slice a neat piece. Curvy lines of the plate make a wide stage for the feast.

Fun Fact!

The "TV dinner" was actually invented in 1953 when the Swanson company had a huge amount of leftover Thanksgiving turkey that it needed to sell.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use two browns for the turkey: lighter on top, darker under the wing for shadows.
  2. 2 Tap tiny dots of darker brown or orange to show crispy skin.
  3. 3 Color cranberries bright red, and shade a few darker for shiny spots.
  4. 4 Mix soft sage and deep green on the herb leaves; add a cool blue rim to the plate.
