Start by folding the napkin in half diagonally to form a triangle. Starting in one of the bottom corners, fold a small piece over vertically, like a paper fan. Continue folding all the way to the opposite corner, and then secure the folds with a napkin ring. Fan out the top and lay it flat to form a leaf shape.

Take each end and fold them upward at a diagonal angle until the tips meet in the middle. Fold each piece down over the rest of the napkin, tucking the right end underneath the left end. Fit a napkin ring around the center, pull the pointed ends down, and fashion each side into a bow shape.

Fold the napkin in half along the long edge, and then fold the bottom edge up about one-third of the way. Starting at one side, make small vertical folds all the way to the opposite edge like a paper fan. Secure the bottom with a napkin ring, and then fan out the top. Stand the napkin up using the ring, and place a small gourd in front of it to form the turkey's head and body.
