This is the holidays wrapped up in a cranberry sauce. Savory Tuscan Herb Olive Oil is used to sauté shallots, and then cranberry, apples, and spices and simmered together for the perfect holiday meal condiment. And with only 1/4 C sugar in the entire recipe, it cuts down on the typical cranberry sauce loaded with all sorts of sugar.
For left over Turkey sandwiches, grill/toast slices of bread just until crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Off the heat, add sliced turkey, crispy bacon, cranberry sauce, avocado, and a little lettuce or sprouts. Slice sandwich in half and enjoy!
