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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the croissants are warming, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each croissant.
Step 4
Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly on top of the mayonnaise.
Step 5
Divide the cooked turkey breast evenly among the croissants, placing it on top of the spinach.
Step 6
Generously spoon the prepared cranberry salsa over the turkey for a burst of flavor.
Step 7
Place the top halves of the croissants over the fillings, pressing gently.
Step 8
Serve the turkey croissants warm or at room temperature, with any remaining cranberry salsa on the side as a condiment.
