One of my daughters claims she can’t eat cornbread dressing without this delicious chutney. She always wanted me to make it for her so I thought, why not just teach her to make it? So she learned to make it when she was just five years old and has been making it ever since, during the holidays and throughout the year as a spread for turkey sandwiches. It only takes about five minutes to make.

As a holiday side, cranberry orange chutney brings some delicious variety to the table in place of traditional cranberry sauce. Chutney is a jam-like condiment that originally came from Indian cuisine. It may be sweet, spicy, or pickled. This sweet fruit version includes walnuts for extra flavor and texture.

I’ve never noticed before creating a stuffed turkey breast recipe using cranberries in the stuffing just how well cranberries and turkey really do compliment one another. The mildness from the turkey pairs beautifully with the sour and sweet notes in the cranberries. When you put them together the day after Thanksgiving in sandwich form, you will make this on non-holidays just for the comfort of it all.
