- 1 red 1×1 nose cone
- 2 yellow 1×1 nose cones
- 2 1×1 round eyes
- 1 brown 1×2 brick with bow
- 1 brown 1×1 plates
- 1 black or brown 1×1 brick with 2 knobs
- 1 brown 1×2 45º roof tile
- 1 brown 3×3 cross plate
- 1 brown 1×3 brick
- 1 beige 1×1 brick with a knob
- 1 brown or gold 2×2 flat plates with a knob
- 1 yellow 1×2 flat plate with knob
- 2 orange 1×2 plates
- 2 red 1×3 plates
- 1 yellow 1×2 plate
- 2 brown 3×3 ¼ circle bricks
LEGO TURKEY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. Align the two 3×3 ¼ circle plates. Over the seam, press the yellow 1×2 flat plate with knob and the brown or gold 2×2 flat plate with knob.
STEP 2. To create the tail feathers, add one 1×2 orange plate to each corner of the 3×3 ¼ circle bricks. On the next knob on each side, add the red 1×3 plates. Finally, over the 1×2 plate with the knob in the middle, add the 1×2 yellow plate.
STEP 3. For the body of the turkey, place the cross plate on the 2×3 brick with one end of the cross plate extending to become the base for the turkey neck. On the back of the cross plate, add the 1×1 brick with a knob. This will be the connection to the tail.
STEP 4. To create the turkey neck and face, stack the 1×2 45º roof tile on the extended portion of the cross plate with the angle sliding towards the tail.
On top of the roof tile knob, add the black (or brown) 1×1 brick with two knobs. Add an eye to each knob.
Snap the brown 1×2 brick with bow over the top of the black 1×1. Squeeze the two 1×1 plates together to form a cube and snap it under the bow. Attach the red nose cone under the cube to be the turkey’s waddle.
Attach the two yellow nose cones under the 2×3 brick as the turkey’s feet.
Enjoy your finished LEGO turkey!
