Thanksgiving Deviled Eggs disguised as Turkeys

Like many things that have become a custom during the holidays for our family ,,, deviled eggs must make an appearance at the table. I can recall one time that I overdid it on eating deviled eggs and got in a bit of trouble, never ill but trouble all the same as grandma did not appreciate me only eating eggs and not much else. However, deviled eggs are still one of my favorites just not the only thing I eat anymore.

There are a great variation of making deviled eggs. Some use miracle whip some salad dressing. Others choose to make them a bit sweet and add in a bit of sugar but others choose not to. Mustard is also one ingredient that can be added or left out depending on your taste

6 eggs hard boiled

¼ cup mayonnaise or miracle whip

1 Tbsp . Barbecue sauce a good sweet/ smoky kind is best

2 tsp . Yellow Mustard Sauce

Turkey topping:

red  bell peppers small julienne strips and cut up like beaks/ feathers

7 layer Dip #recipe

16 ounce can black beans, drained

1 packet taco seasoning 

16 ounce container sour cream

4 cups cheddar cheese, divided

3 cups guacamole 

1 to 2 cups chunky salsa with excess liquid drained 

3 scallions, chopped

Sliced black olives for garnish, if you wish

With your food processor, pulse together 1 – 16 ounce can of black beans with 1 packet taco seasoning. When the mixture looks like a chunky paste, it’s done. Spread this on the bottom of a glass pie plate or any other large glass container that you have.

Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, then pulse together sour cream with 1 cup cheddar cheese. Spread this layer over the beans.

Sprinkle and additional cup of cheddar cheese over the sour cream layer.

Spread guacamole over the cheese.

Before you spread the salsa, be sure any extra liquid is drained from it. I placed the salsa in a fine mesh strainer to let it drain a bit. Then spread it evenly over the guacamole.

Top with remaining cheese, then sprinkle scallions on top and sliced black olives if you wish.

Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
