Decorative Pumpkin Pie

Admittedly, this idea is not original, so credit goes to Family magazine.  I saw this cute idea when browsing through recipes for the holidays.  My moms favorite holiday dessert is traditional pumpkin pie {so traditional that it is on the back of the pumpkin filling can} hahaha! Anyways if you want an easy pumpkin pie, simply purchase a can of Libby's Pumpkin filing and the recipe + vital ingredient are yours. The decorative pie requires additional pie dough rolled out {do this early to save time}.  Fill the pie pumpkin pie as instructed on recipe.  Next take additional dough and roll it out.  Using a dull knife, outline the shape of your hand in the dough. Leave room at the bottom to add feet. I added a couple of my own touches: a beak and gobbler.  These additional touches should be added before placing the turkey on the pie. Once finalized, gently set the turkey on the pie.  Have the oven preheated to 425 and bake for first 10 minutes, then turn heat to 350 and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes.  Optional: if you want a golden turkey, brush down turkey the last 5 minutes with some butter.

Finished product turns out super cute, enjoy! :)
