Turkey Cinnamon Rolls

I found this recipe on Pinterest - it's from Pillsbury - I so wish this was my idea but it wasn't so I'll give credit where credit is due.I altered mine a bit only because I had a package of Cinnamon Rolls Cinnabon already on hand.  The original recipe calls for Grands so that would definitely make for a bigger turkey.

Ingredients

• 1 can 17.5 ounce Pillsbury Grands - as I stated above, I used regular Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls (Cinnabon)
• 10 slices of bacon - I cheated 😉 and used the pre-cooked bacon
• 5 candy corns
• 5 red mini candies - It was Halloween I used red Skittles
• 10 candy eyeballs
• 15 mini pretzel sticks cut in half

Instructions

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• 
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pop open rolls and set icing aside.
• Separate dough into rolls and place about 3 inches apart on baking sheet.
• 
• Unroll each roll about 1 inch and tuck dough into roll to create neck of turkey (that's a gizzard, right?).
• 
• Bake according to directions on package, until light golden brown.
• 
• Remove from cookie sheet and cool on cooling rack for 5 minutes.
• Cook bacon (or heat up in the microwave if it's pre-cooked) and drain on paper towel-lined paper plate.
• 
• Cut slices in half and tuck into the outer roll. I used a butter knife to gently tuck mine down in a bit. They'll fan up like tail feathers.
• 
• Drizzle icing on top of rolls and while still moist, add eyeballs, candy corn and red candy.
• 
• Before serving place halved pretzel sticks beneath each turkey to resemble feet. If you have any icing left, you can use that to hold the pretzels in place underneath the cinnamon rolls.
