Turkey Cheese-Ball


Amy said I could share her cheese ball recipe with you. It's awesome. Today she made it in the shape of a turkey. Share it on your Facebook wall if you want to know where to find it in the future!

Amy's Cheese-Ball

Ingredients:
16 oz cream cheese
4 oz onion dip (like for potato chips)
2 cups shredded colby and monterey jack cheese combined
 (you may substitute cheese of your choice)
1/2 TB Worcestershire sauce
1/2 A-1 steak sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 TB Mrs. Dash original salt substitute.
1 celery stalk finely chopped
1 green onion finely chopped
1/4 cup carrots finely chopped or shredded
Ritz cracker crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs.

*Used to make the turkey cheese-ball:
small piece of red bell pepper or tomato (for turkey wattle)
Pepperidge Farms Cracker Trio
 
Directions:
Set aside cracker crumbs. (They will be used to coat the outside of the finished cheese ball.)
Mix together Worcestershire sauce, A-1 and lemon juice.  Combine  ingredients and cream together by hand.  Form into desired shape.  Coat with cracker crumbs, or more shredded cheese.  

Other Ideas:
For turkey-shape body.  Use cracker crumbs to coat body and use Pepperidge Farm Cracker Trio for tail feathers and wings.  Use chopped nuts for the eyes, a sliver of cheese for the beak and red bell pepper or tomato for the wattle.
