Soften cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Cream the cream cheese and add in shredded cheddar by hand or with a food processor. Stir and cream until both cheeses are thoroughly mixed together.
Place mixture into a piece of plastic wrap; form into a ball; place into the refrigerator for a few hours to firm it up.
Remove from fridge and roll it in chopped nuts but keep the nice round shape.
Place pretzels to make the tail of the turkey. Use a little chocolate melt to "glue" the round chocolate candy to about a 4 or 5 inch piece of Slim Jim. It could bit tricky to get this to stay in place, so you might need to place it in the freezer in order to harden it up faster.
Glued on the eyes and "beak" candy corn; place in the freezer for a few minutes.
After inserting the "neck" Slim Jim into the cheese ball, place the entire turkey on a platter/tray/plate and into the refrigerator for overnight.
