Turkey Cranberry Mini Sandwiches

Prep Time 55 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries rinsed and sorted
  • 1 medium orange peeled, seeded and cut into chunks with thick white pith removed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 24 mini rye rolls about 2 inches across
  • 8 oz plain cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 lb thinly sliced ready-to-eat smoked deli turkey
  • 24 small butter-lettuce leaves washed and thoroughly dried

Method
 

  1. Pulse cranberries and orange in a processor until finely chopped but still textured. Stir in sugar and refrigerate for 30 minutes, then drain in a fine sieve for 5 minutes without pressing into a puree.
  2. Split mini rye rolls horizontally. Spread cream cheese in a thin, even layer over their cut faces.
  3. Divide the turkey into 24 equal portions. Tuck one dry lettuce leaf into each bottom and fold one portion of turkey over it.
  4. Divide the drained relish over the turkey in a shallow layer and close the rolls. Wipe away any filling that spills beyond the bread.
  5. Yield 24 whole mini sandwiches, two per serving. Refrigerate in a covered shallow container and serve within 8 hours of assembly.
