How to Make a Turkey Glove Snack

You’re going to love how quick and easy it is to make your own Thanksgiving turkey snack! All you need are a few minutes of prep work and they’re ready to eat!

Start by pouring out all the rainbow Goldfish out on a flat surface to make it easy to sort. Then, separate all the crackers into a pile of each color. This will make it easier to fill your gloves with snacks quickly.

Once you have all your crackers sorted, set aside the red crackers to use for the thumb. Then, fill each of the four fingers with a different color of Goldfish. After that, you can push the red crackers into the thumb.

Now that the feathers are ready to go, you can add your popcorn to the center part of the glove. Leave around one inch of space at the bottom of the glove to close it.

Then, twist the bag closed tightly and secure the end of the plastic with some tape to keep the glove closed.

Next, twist the thumb a few times, then fold it down to make the turkey’s wattle. Use a piece of tape to secure the thumb in place.
