Step-by-Step Instructions for Thanksgiving Turkey Charcuterie Board

Prepare the ingredients by slicing the soft cheese into wedges and the hard cheese into cubes. Thinly slice the meats and wash the fruits.
Create the base by placing a large wooden board on your table. Position a round of soft cheese at the center.
Arrange the meats by draping them around the soft cheese, folding them to simulate turkey feathers.
Add fruits and nuts by placing clusters of grapes and apple slices on the board, along with a mix of nuts.
Garnish with fresh herbs tucked around the edges for aroma and visual appeal.
Serve with style by inviting guests to enjoy and mix flavors with small plates and utensils.
