Variations For These Mini Turkey Pies
Chocolate pudding: If you’re in a hurry, swap out the chocolate pudding mix for pudding cups. Simply scoop the pudding into the pie crusts and you’re done!
Oreo “dirt” layer: Add a layer of crushed Oreos between the crust and pudding for extra texture and a fun surprise bite.
Different candy for feathers: Instead of candy corn, try Reese’s Pieces, mini M&M’s, or fall-colored sprinkles for a different look.
Gluten-free option: Use a gluten-free cookie or pie crust to make these gluten-free without changing the rest of the recipe.
