Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces croissants
- 2 cups cooked turkey breast (sliced or shredded)
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 piece jalapeño (seeded and finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
Instructions
To prepare the cranberry salsa, combine the fresh cranberries, orange juice, honey, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, red onion, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped but still slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the croissants on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 3-5 minutes until lightly toasted.
While the croissants are warming, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each croissant.
Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly on top of the mayonnaise.
Divide the cooked turkey breast evenly among the croissants, placing it on top of the spinach.
Generously spoon the prepared cranberry salsa over the turkey for a burst of flavor.
Place the top halves of the croissants over the fillings, pressing gently.
Serve the turkey croissants warm or at room temperature, with any remaining cranberry salsa on the side as a condiment.
