These are absolutely gorgeous. Who doesn’t love the combination of cranberry and poultry this time of year? With a bit of mint thrown in, this glaze provides not only a riot of flavors but a beautiful holiday color scheme. You can make this with just about any cut of any bird, though cooking times will vary depending on how big your cuts are. Serve this alongside some greens and mashed cauliflower for a well-rounded meal.
