Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 granny smith apple, cored but not peeled, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups shredded turkey
12 sweet dinner rolls
One 1-pound bag fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick
1 orange, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, oil, celery, apples, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside while you make the sliders.
  • For the sliders: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the cranberry sauce, ketchup, vinegar, Dijon, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and carefully pour the sauce into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
  • Place the turkey into a large bowl and pour the sauce over the turkey, stirring to coat evenly with the sauce. To serve, spoon a 1/4 cup of the turkey onto the bottom half of the rolls, garnish with 2 tablespoons of the slaw and top with the top half of the roll.
  • Combine the cranberries, maple syrup cinnamon, orange zest and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Turn the burner off. Using the back of your spoon, lightly mash the cranberries to desired consistency. Chill until ready to serve.

GRILLED TURKEY WITH CRANBERRY BBQ SAUCE



Grilled Turkey with Cranberry BBQ Sauce image

Create some much-needed space in your oven for Thanksgiving by grilling the turkey instead!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT4h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for brushing the turkey
1 small onion, diced small
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 pound frozen cranberries
1/2 cup apple juice
1/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 chipotle pepper in adobo

Steps:

  • For the turkey: One to two days before cooking, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, including under the breast and thigh skin and inside the cavity. Refrigerate uncovered or lightly covered with plastic wrap.
  • For the cranberry bbq sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onion is very soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Stir in the cranberries, apple juice, ketchup, light brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, chipotle pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Simmer until the cranberries start to burst, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and blend until very smooth. Reserve half for serving with the turkey. (You can make this sauce the day before and keep it refrigerated.)
  • Half an hour before cooking, remove the turkey from the refrigerator. Preheat a grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (about 350 degrees F). For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey all over with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Place the turkey breast-side up on the indirect side of the grill with the legs facing the hotter side. Cover the grill and roast until almost done (an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh should register around 150 degrees F), 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Brush the turkey all over with the cranberry sauce. Cover the grill and continue cooking the turkey until a thermometer registers at least 165 degrees F in the thigh and 155 degrees F in the breast, 15 to 25 minutes more.
  • Let the turkey rest 30 minutes before carving. Serve with the reserved cranberry sauce on the side.

TURKEY CRANBERRY SANDWICH



Turkey Cranberry Sandwich image

I think that my three favorite things about Thanksgiving are family time, the meal and LEFTOVERS! This is the perfect sandwich to refuel after shopping. I really liked the cream cheese addition. It really complements the turkey and cranberry.

Provided by Vickie Parks

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slice bread
2 Tbsp cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp cranberry sauce (I use my homemade cranberry relish)
1 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise (optional--I usually omit it, but most of my family prefers it)
2 slice cooked turkey (great use of your leftover thanksgiving turkey)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 romaine lettuce leaf

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly toast both slices of bread. Spread cream cheese on both halves while bread is still hot, so the cream cheese melts justly slightly. Add mayonnaise, if you wish.
  • 2. Spread cranberry sauce on both slices of toasted bread with cranberry sauce (or cranberry relish).
  • 3. Top one toasted slice with cooked turkey meat and season with salt and pepper. Then top with Romaine lettuce leaf. Place the other slice of bread over the Romaine lettuce. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally.
  • 4. Serve with re-heated leftover Thanksgiving stuffing or re-heated mashed potatoes and gravy.
