1 cup whole cranberries

½ cup fresh orange juice

1 tbsp. orange zest

2 tbsp. white sugar

¾ cup cashew halves

6 cups chopped cooked turkey

Two celery ribs diced

¾ cup mayonnaise, or to taste

2 tbsp. applesauce

½ tsp. kosher salt

¼ tsp. ground dried sage

Directions:

The oven should be preheated to 325 F (165 C). Use aluminum foil to line a baking pan.

Combine the sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and cranberries in a pan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes or until nearly all the liquid has evaporated. Cool after removing from the heat.

On the prepared baking sheet, spread the cashews—roast for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated oven or until golden brown. Cool after removing.

Mix the turkey, celery, mayonnaise, applesauce, salt, sage, thyme, and pepper; stir to mix well. Add the cranberry mixture by blending. At least two hours before serving, refrigerate.
