Instructions
10 If using leftover turkey, chop that up.If baking a turkey breast fresh, follow the packaging instructions before making the cranberry sauce or the biscuits. Make the Vanilla Cranberry Sauce 13 In a large saute pan over high heat, pour in the apple cider, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. 14 Add the vanilla beans, ground cinnamon, ground allspice and ground ginger. Stir with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. 15 Pour in the cranberries. 16 Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will burst and the sauce will thicken as it cooks. (This should take 10-20 minutes, depending on how powerful your stovetop is.) 17 Once the mixture is correct consistency (no longer watery, but the cranberries still have their form), remove from the heat. 18 Transfer to a serving dish, and bring to room temperature. (Or refrigerate until time to serve.) Make the Biscuits 21 Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking sheet, and set aside. 22 Grate the 6 tablespoons of FROZEN butter using a cheese grater, and transfer back to the freezer until it’s time to use. 23 In a chilled bowl, combine the dry ingredients — the flour, sugar and baking powder. Whisk or stir until combined. 24 Add the chilled butter and diced turkey. Using a rubber spatula, stir the ingredients until combined. 25 Pour in the turkey cooking liquid and milk. Stir using the spatula. 26 Turn the biscuit batter out onto a floured surface, and knead until just combined. Unlike bread, you don’t want to knead this for a long time. Simply press the dough together until no scraps remain, moving quickly so the ingredients don’t get warm, and shape into a 1” tall rectangle. 27 Using a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits. 28 Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. When the rectangle is just scraps, reshape the dough into another rectangle and cut more. Repeat until all the dough has been cut and placed on the baking sheet. 29 Brush the tops of the biscuits with butter. 30 Transfer the pan to the oven and bake 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and are golden brown. 31 Let the biscuits cool before preparing them for the brunch table!
