And no turkey would be complete without a companion of tangy-sweet cranberry sauce. We’re making ours from tart fresh cranberries quickly cooked with a little shallot, vinegar and sugar. (Chefs, be sure to choose a sheet pan with higher sides for your turkey—you’ll be adding water to keep it juicy in the oven.)

Grant ordered cranberries served to soldiers as part of their Thanksgiving meal. In the early 1900s someone realized that flooding the bogs where cranberries grew loosens the berries from the vines until they fall off and float to the surface. Known as wet harvesting, this is quicker and less labor than dry harvesting.

Cranberry Sauce Is Perfect with Thanksgiving Turkey Cranberries are absolutely perfect with turkey. Sort of like lemons and chicken. Something about the flavors, they’re just made for each other. Which is why the sauce is so good to spread over turkey in your leftover turkey sandwiches.

1. 2 Tbsp. of orange juice plus 1 tsp. of finely grated orange peel.
2. ½ can of mandarin oranges.
3. ½ cup pineapple.
4. ½ tsp. cinnamon.
5. ½ cup chopped dried apricots.
6. ½ cup toasted pecans.
7. 2 Tbsp. Zinfandel Wine.

Use the cranberry whipped cream to top fruitcake and other holiday desserts or use it on hot chocolate. 5) Use it as a glaze for poultry and meats. We know that cranberry sauce goes with turkey. But it also goes with chicken, pork and beef.

The traditional way to serve canned cranberry sauce is to slice the cylinder into rounds and arrange them on a platter. Go a step further by adding a garnish like sugared rosemary or candied ginger. Or, cook the canned sauce with orange juice and zest for a citrusy take on a holiday standby.

Cheese – The best cheese for turkey sandwiches are provolone, gouda, mozzarella, Colby jack, Monterey jack, and cheddar are all great options. You don’t want the cheese to overpower the other ingredients. It also needs to melt easily if you’re grilling it. Butter – Real butter is best.
