CRANBERRY SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
I made this sauce over meatballs at my daughter's wedding reception. It was a hit. Nice change from your regular sweet and sour. The cranberries give it just enough tartness. This recipe makes a lot so you may want to cut it down for smaller portions. It was enough for 280 1" meatballs.

LEFTOVER TURKEY SPRING ROLLS WITH CRANBERRY SWEET AND SOUR DIPPING SAUCE
This lends classic Asian flavors with an all-American twist. I suggest enlisting the help of a couple of people rolling the spring rolls. This takes up the majority of the prep time. I bake the rolls instead of frying them to cut down on the calories, but you can deep fry them for extra flavor. If you can't find spring roll wrappers, use the egg roll wrappers. They don't bake well, so deep-fry them instead. Use real soy sauce brewed from soybeans, and not the stuff with caramel coloring and salt.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook and stir the turkey, carrot, garlic, black pepper, ginger, and garlic and herb seasoning until the garlic releases its fragrance, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, and continue cooking until the carrot begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, oyster sauce, and remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Continue to stir, until the cabbage is soft and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat, and set aside. Drain off any excess liquid.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
- To fill the wrappers, separate and place the spring roll wrappers onto your work surface, with the points of the square pointing up and down in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the turkey filling in a line across the center of the wrapper, and fold the bottom point up to cover the filling. Fold the two side points in on top of the folded wrapper, to fully enclose the filling. The two side points should be about 1 inch apart. Firmly but gently, roll the spring roll into a tight cylinder, and roll the wrapper over to firmly press down the remaining point. Set the filled wrappers seam-side down onto the parchment-lined baking sheets so they don't touch. The rolls should be about the thickness of a finger.
- Bake the filled rolls in the preheated oven until they begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Mash the cranberry sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until the sauce is smooth, then whisk in the sugar, vinegar, and a dash of soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer, whisking the sauce, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce to a bowl. Serve the rolls hot with the sauce.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries: For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. You can find them in the produce section of most grocery stores during the fall and winter months.
- Prep your cranberries: Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and remove any stems or blemishes. You can also slice the cranberries in half if you prefer.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make this sauce. It allows the flavors to meld and develop over time. You can also make the sauce on the stovetop, but you'll need to stir it more frequently.
- Add some spice: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also add a cinnamon stick or a star anise pod for a more complex flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dishes: Cranberry sauce is a great addition to turkey, chicken, pork, and fish. It can also be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
