Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a sturdy baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

Mix one egg with about a tablespoon of water and food coloring to create colored egg wash.

Roll out the first piece of puff pastry, extending the length by about 2 inches.

Spread the brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple sugar mixture evenly over the puff pastry.

Optionally, apply a little egg wash to help the mixture adhere to the pastry.

Roll out a second piece of puff pastry to the same size as the first and lay it on top of the first piece.

Use a bowl to press a mark in the center of the puff pastry to outline the turkey shape.

Cut a half circle around the mark to create the turkey's feathers.

Cut strips about an inch thick all around the turkey shape.

Twist each strip to create a feathery appearance.

Use scraps to cut out a circle for the turkey's head, and add a beak and feet.

Paint the turkey with the colored egg wash.

Place the turkey in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
