- Cut out the Thumper and Bambi inspired silhouettes, and then on an un-rolled pre-made pie crust, use a toothpick to trace the shapes. Cut out 6 Bambi shapes and 6 Thumper shapes.
- Remove the sage leaves from your dressing, and then pour all of it over your casserole evenly, leaving about 1 Tbsp leftover in the bowl.
