I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I made these Cranberry Turkey Crostini, but they're fantastic. The jalapenos balance out the other ingredients perfectly. If you don't have shaved turkey, shaved chicken works just as well. -Bridgetta Ealy, Pontiac, Michigan

I added a bit of chopped walnuts to the cranberry-turkey topping and it added a nice crunch. I also used a flavored goat cheese instead of regular goat cheese, which gave the crostini a more complex flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crostini turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the turkey.
