TURKEY BURGERS WITH ORANGE MUSTARD GLAZE
Steps:
- Prep the burgers: Combine the salt, paprika, pepper and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Form 6 turkey patties and sprinkle on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
- Make the glaze: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and jalapenos and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the marmalade, mustard, black pepper and chili powder and cook about 2 minutes, until fully combined. Reserve until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill to high. Grill the patties until nice markings are shown, about 5 minutes per side, then reduce the flame to medium and cook until well done, 12 more minutes, flipping after 5 minutes. At the same time, toast the buns on the grill.
- Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the glaze, lettuce, tomato and red onion. Serve with pickles.

CROISSANTS A L'ORANGE
I found this recipe in a holiday magazine a couple of years ago and it's become a family favorite ever since. It's sort of like a fancy bread pudding, yet not quite, so I hesitate to really term it a bread pudding because in this case the croissants don't dissolve into the other ingredients like a normal bread pudding would, so the texture is much different. The orange flavor gives it a wonderful taste too.

Steps:
- Spray two 3-quart glass baking dishes with non-stick pan spray.
- Or grease baking dishes with butter.
- Cut croissants lengthwise with bottom being about 2/3 and top sliver 1/3 and arrange six in each baking dish.
- Thin marmalade with orange juice and spoon some over each bottom half of croissant.
- Replace croissant tops.
- Beat eggs, cream, extract and rind.
- Pour over croissants.
- Spoon remaining thinned marmalade on top as a glaze.
- Allow to soak overnight.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until firm.
- Serve hot, garnished with orange slices and strawberries.
- May also be topped with a spoonful of whipped cream.
- Note: I can easily buy croissants in the bakery section of my supermarket (Sara Lee brand also has a frozen variety). However, I found that the ones I get are very large so I have to cut them to fit in a baking dish and may not get all 6 in (usually use 13 x 9 inch glass pans), but it will work fine as long as you fill the pan even if you need to use less than 6 croissants, Also if I'm taking these to a friends house I will use those throw away aluminum baking tins.

Steps:
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, Grand Marnier, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and orange zest in a medium bowl, and set aside. Stir together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a small bowl.
- Halve the croissants crosswise. Spread bottom with cream-cheese mixture, then with marmalade. Place tops back on to seal. Place the stuffed croissants in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour egg mixture over croissants; soak 5 minutes.Turn croissants over; soak 5 minutes more or until they are soaked through.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry half of the croissants until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.Transfer to wire rack, and place in oven while cooking remaining bread.Wipe out skillet, and repeat with remaining butter, oil, and bread. Keep in oven until ready to serve. Serve warm with orange syrup, butter, and orange segments, if desired.
Tips:
- Prep the turkey beforehand: For best results, brine the turkey breast overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey breast, make sure to leave enough space in the pan so that the meat can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the turkey from browning properly.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey rest before slicing: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
- Get creative with the fillings: The orange-cranberry sauce is a classic pairing for turkey, but there are many other delicious fillings that you can try. Some popular options include stuffing, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Orange turkey croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet oranges, tangy cranberries, and savory turkey is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
