- Add a small slice of red bell pepper just below the beak as the wattle.
- Surround the pear turkey with slices of roasted turkey breast and honey-glazed ham, arranging them in a fan-like pattern to resemble turkey feathers.
- Fill the rest of the charcuterie board with an assortment of cheeses, mixed nuts, dried fruits, fresh grapes or berries, assorted olives, and crackers or baguette slices, arranging them artistically around the pear turkey.
- Place a small bowl of whole-grain mustard or honey mustard near the board for dipping.
