1 ½ pound fresh cranberries
2 ½ cup sugar 1 lemon, juice and zest
4 tablespoons orange marmalade
¼ cup Amaretto liquor
Directions
N.C. Turkey Schnitzel
Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together in a shallow bowl. Place the flour in another shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl. Place the turkey cutlets between plastic wrap and lightly pound with a meat mallet until the turkey is roughly ¼ inch thick. Season the turkey with salt & pepper and coat with the flour, then dip into the egg wash. Finally, coat the turkey slices in the breadcrumbs. Place on waxed paper; let stand for 5-10 minutes. In a large skillet, melt the butter in the oil over medium-high heat. Sizzle in the fresh herbs, being careful not to burn them. Brown the breaded turkey for 2 minutes on each side or until the juices run clear. Serve with lemon wedges, whole-grain mustard and cranberry chutney.
Sweetpotato Soufflé
Boil sweet potatoes in water until tender for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from water and allow to cool for 8-10 minutes. Peel potatoes and mash together with the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and add sweet potato mixture.
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients to form a crumb topping. Sprinkle evenly over the sweet potato mixture and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
Cranberries Amaretto
Spray the inside of a 3-4 qt. sauce pot. Melt butter in the same pot and add cranberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook the berries until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, orange marmalade and Amaretto. Serve warm or cold with turkey, chicken, pork, assorted cheeses and charcuterie. It is also great with vanilla ice cream.
