Cranberry Brie Turkey Crackers
Leftover turkey, melted brie and whole-berry cranberry sauce on crisp crackers, broiled in minutes. An easy, elegant holiday appetizer.
Ingredients
- 24 water crackers or round buttery crackers
- 1 cup cooked turkey shredded or thinly sliced (about 5 oz)
- 8 oz brie sliced about ¼ inch thick
- ½ cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
- fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the broiler. Preheat the broiler to high and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the crackers. Lay the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Add the toppings. Top each cracker with a little turkey, then a thin slice of brie.
- Broil. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until the brie is melted and just beginning to bubble.
- Add the cranberry. Remove from the oven and top each cracker with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Garnish and serve. Finish with a basil or mint leaf and serve warm.
Notes
Watch the broiler: Brie melts fast. Pull the crackers as soon as the cheese is melted and bubbling.
How it adds up: ½ cup of cranberry sauce is 24 teaspoons, so there is exactly 1 teaspoon for each cracker, and 8 oz of brie gives each one a thin slice.
Swaps: Try fig jam or red pepper jam instead of cranberry sauce, or prosciutto instead of turkey.
