It's not every day that I find recipes that completely fall in love with and I don't already know, especially one where the ingredients surprised me! I would have never thought to combine turkey, black beans, & cranberry but it's one my tastebuds were definitely missing out on. We ventured to Dallas for the second time this year for the #MiKroger Summit hosted by Kroger and we were asked to do something we don't normally do, bring a dish for everyone at the event to try. Luckily I didn't have to invent anything, and we chose from the Kroger- Tu Holiday website. I'm so excited to share this recipe because it really did surprise my taste buds!

Cranberry Sauce

Directions:
- In a 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup of cranberries, ¼ cup of brown sugar, the chipotle chiles and ½ cup of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until cranberries have popped and a sauce has thickened.
- Meanwhile, in a 10" skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add turkey, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste and chili powder; stir to mix. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the turkey is thoroughly heated.
- In a small bowl, add ½ cup of warm water to the refried beans and stir well, making sure the mix is spreadable.
- To assemble the tostadas, spread each tostada with warm refried beans. Top with turkey, shredded cabbage, cranberry sauce and queso fresco.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.
Mila definitely enjoyed it, and it was also her first time going to a bigger event with Jeff & I! She did awesomely and everyone was so in love with her. I guess this means she's got the ok to come to all our events, maybe haha.
It's always a good time when I get to hang out with my favorite Tejanas! I loved getting to taste everyone's recipe for the pot luck, and seeing how many different twists there are to things we already know and love.
