Turkey and cranberries go well together but there is often cranberry sauce left over after the turkey is gone. There are other ways to enjoy the cranberry flavour.
Some alternatives are to add cranberry sauce to a few of your favourites. Try adding one-half cup (125 mL) of cranberry sauce to a favourite bran, banana or fruit muffin recipe or apple or fruit crisp recipe or include some of the sauce when making a milkshake or smoothie.
