Drawing a turkey can be a super fun activity, especially when you’re thinking about yummy holiday meals! Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a delicious cooked turkey with some tasty sides. So, grab your drawing tools, and let’s get started!

What You Need

Before we start, make sure you have these things ready:

  • Markers or any drawing tool you like
  • Paper
  • Coloring materials like colored pencils, oil pastels, or paint

Step 1: Draw the Turkey Leg

Let’s begin with the turkey leg:

  1. On the right side of your paper, draw two slanted lines for the leg.
  2. Add a little bump at the end for the bone.
  3. Curve the lines out and then back in to make a big turkey leg shape.
  4. Finish with a zigzag line at the end to show texture.

Step 2: Outline the Turkey Body

Now, let’s draw the top part of the turkey:

  1. Make a big rainbow line that goes up and then down, like an upside-down “U.”
  2. Below the turkey, draw some side dishes like potatoes and lettuce. Start with a potato shape on each side.

Step 3: Add More Details

Time to add more yummy details:

  1. Draw shapes for stuffing or other sides. Use rectangles or squares and overlap them with the turkey leg.
  2. Draw wavy lines for lettuce, connecting one side to the other.
  3. Add more potatoes or stuffing to fill your drawing.

Step 4: Complete the Turkey

Let’s finish drawing the turkey:

  1. Connect the turkey body to the leg and potatoes.
  2. Draw another turkey leg on the other side using the same steps.
  3. Add the zigzag line at the end of the second leg too.

Step 5: Draw the Plate

Now, let’s draw the plate:

  1. Draw a big oval under the turkey for the plate.
  2. Add a turkey wing by drawing a backward “C” and an upside-down “U,” then curve it underneath.

Step 6: Color Your Turkey

Time to make your turkey colorful and fun!

  1. Use markers, colored pencils, or paint to color your drawing.
  2. Add more food items in the background if you like.
