I just have to share this recipe, printed in TOH by Judy Wilson. It is a must-have for leftover turkey after-Thanksgiving or, for that matter, anytime by using store-bought sliced turkey breast. I would have this for dinner on chilly nights with a bowl of steaming soup and a fruit salad.

  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the focaccia tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shaping.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to cranberries, you can also top the focaccia with other ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, cheese, or herbs. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Bake the focaccia until it is golden brown: The focaccia is done baking when it is golden brown on top and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
