Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup roasted turkey breast
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch-thick slices, creating about 20 pieces.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove and let them cool slightly.
In a small bowl, season the cream cheese with salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cream cheese on each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a thinly sliced piece of roasted turkey breast.
Spoon a small dollop of cranberry sauce over the turkey on each crostini.
Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs for a festive touch, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
