I love these tasty sandwiches. They are so easy to make and the cranberry orange spread is delicious and perfect! I love to serve these at baby showers, baby blessing luncheons, lunch groups or really any party. These are a hit every time!
To make the cranberry spread you will need cream cheese, whole berry cranberry sauce and orange marmalade. You can add craisins, if you like, as well.
Mix the cream cheese, cranberry sauce and orange marmalade with an electric mixer until well combined. Add additional cranberries if desired.
Cover the cranberry spread and place in the fridge for at least two hours or up to one week. When you are ready to make your sandwiches get some croissants and carefully slice them in half. I normally just buy croissants for this recipe, but you can definitely make them if you'd like. The mini croissants you can get at the bakery of some grocery stores are perfect for these too! Generously spread the cranberry spread on one half.
Layer the turkey and lettuce and then top with the croissant. I like to cut them in half, but serve however you like.
Cranberry Orange Turkey Croissants
Recipe by: Prescriptions for a Happy Home
Ingredients:
1pkg. (8oz) cream cheese, room temperature (the low fat kind works great)
1 c. whole berry cranberry sauce
1/3 c. orange marmalade
1/3 c. craisins, opt.
12 croissants
2 lbs. sliced turkey ( I get it from the deli counter)
1 head green leaf lettuce
First, make the cranberry spread by combining the cream cheese, cranberry sauce and orange marmalade. Mix will an electric mixer until well combined. Add craisins and mix well, if desired. Cover cranberry spread and let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. (you can even make this up to a week ahead of time and just store it in the fridge in an airtight container.) Slice the croissants in half and generously spread the cranberry spread on one half. Top with turkey and lettuce and then the other half of the croissant. Serve and enjoy!
