Popcorn-Stuffed Turkey

Make a fun popcorn-stuffed turkey from paper bags.  It makes a cute setting for your kids' table at Thanksgiving and it gives the children something to snack on while they're waiting for the big dinner to be served.  Decorate around it with fresh veg and you might even get the kids to eat some of those. 😉  You can use microwave popcorn, or even the pre-popped kind from the snack aisle to minimize your prep work and have this made a day ahead of time. The huskless puffy corn is great for small children to prevent choking.   And afterwards, the paper bags and tray are disposable for zero clean-up!  After all, you already have enough work to do in the kitchen preparing Thanksgiving dinner.
