Turkey Cupcakes Recipes
Have some fun with your creative side and decorate turkey cupcakes this Thanksgiving! These easy cupcakes can be made from scratch or using boxed cake mix. Use Reese’s mini cups and Reese’s Pieces to decorate and create a delicious dessert!
Step aside pies, these turkey cupcakes are coming for the Thanksgiving dessert table! But seriously, how cute are they? All you need are chocolate cupcakes, chocolate frosting and some candy to decorate. This is a dessert that is fun for all ages!
You can make your cupcakes and frosting from scratch or use store-bought cake mix and frosting. This is great considering not all of us have the time and energy for from scratch recipes during the holidays. There is room for creativity to decorate the cupcakes, which is always fun to do with kids!
Turkey Cupcakes Recipe
I used chocolate cupcakes and chocolate frosting, but you could certainly use different flavors if that’s your preference! Chocolate is the go-to since turkeys have a brown body.
As for the decorations, instead of Reese’s Pieces, you can use M&M’s or candy corn for the feathers. I’ve also seen people use pretzels for the feathers! The turkey head could also be a mini Oreo cookie or Nutter Butter. Be creative here!
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. If the cupcakes are still warm, the frosting will melt and the decorations won’t stay in place.

Make sure you have enough candy for the decorations. Remember to set aside from orange Reese’s pieces to cut in half for the beaks. Use a toothpick to add frosting behind the candy eyes and beak. This will make it easier (and cleaner) to decorate the face.
Yes, you can make the cupcakes ahead of time. I suggest storing them in the refrigerator so the decorations stay in place.
Yes, but I suggest doing it without the decorations. It unlikely the candy pieces will stay intact after wrapping the cupcakes in plastic wrap and placing them in an airtight container. They will keep for 2 months in the freezer.
Gobble Them Up Cupcakes
Measure your ingredients correctly and don’t over-bake the cupcakes. Weigh your flour and cocoa powder (or use the spoon and level method).

Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes Recipe
Use a toothpick to grab a small amount of frosting to use as glue for the turkey’s face! Clean tweezers can be helpful for dealing with the small pieces too.
Don’t Overmix. The cupcake batter will not rise up nice and fluffy if it’s mixed too much. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no dry spots remain.
Try a Variation. Vanilla cupcakes or your favorite cupcake recipe will work here too. Get creative with different types of candy that you think will work and swap them out if you like.

Cool them down. Putting frosting on warm cupcakes is a recipe for a melty disaster. Be patient and wait for the cupcakes to cool down completely before starting to decorate. Along the same theme, you may want to keep the candy in the fridge until you’re ready to use it so it doesn’t melt in your hands.

Holiday Sides. After desserts, the side dishes might be my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. Go here to see all of my side dish recipes, but definitely try this one for Crockpot Green Bean Casserole.
I hear you. I get that candy corn is a love it or hate it thing. See above, and just don’t use them. Find a different colorful candy to decorate the turkey’s tail with. Pretzels are a good option, or just use more Reese’s Pieces.
