Cinnamon Roll Turkeys

These Cinnamon Roll Turkeys were such a hit at our house that now my kids ask for them every November!

They’re almost too cute to eat, and the best part is, they couldn’t be easier to make. With just a can of cinnamon rolls, a little bacon, and some leftover Halloween candy, you can whip up the most festive Thanksgiving breakfast in under 30 minutes.

It’s such a simple idea, but one of those sweet little traditions that makes the morning feel extra special.

They’re perfect for a fun Thanksgiving breakfast at home, but also great for classroom parties, book club get-togethers, or a festive brunch with friends!

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (save the frosting!)
10–12 strips of bacon
Candy eyeballs
Candy corn
Optional: red icing or a small red candy (like a pull-apart Twizzler piece) for the wattle

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Turkeys:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and bake the bacon for 15–18 minutes, or until nice and crispy. Pat off excess grease and let it cool slightly.

2. Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package directions.

3. Add the bacon “feathers.” I cut my bacon slices into smaller 3 inch sections and tucked the bacon right into the cinnamon roll so they fan out like tail feathers.
