Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Cinnamon Rolls package and set aside the icing. Place five rolls spaced about three inches apart on the cookie sheet.
  3. Unroll each roll about one inch from the top, tucking the dough at the base to create the turkey neck.
  4. Bake the Cinnamon Roll Turkeys for 19 to 21 minutes until light golden brown. Let them cool on a rack for about five minutes.
  5. While cooling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then drain on a paper towel and slice in half.
  6. Spread icing on each Cinnamon Roll Turkey. Tuck four bacon halves into the back of each roll for tail feathers.
  7. Decorate with two candy eyeballs on each roll, a candy corn piece as a beak, and mini chocolate candies around the eyes.
  8. Insert halved mini pretzel sticks into the front of each roll for feet and arrange them on a festive platter.
