• Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved 1/2 cup cranberries. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and add more sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the cranberries in pot with the sugar, orange peel and juice and 1/2 to 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat a bit and let it bubble away until the cranberries burst and form a sauce; remove the orange peels. Let cool to room temperature or chill.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook the celery, carrot and onion until very tender, 10 minutes. Add the sherry and cook to evaporate, then turn off the heat and let cool.
• Place the turkey in a bowl and season with the cloves, nutmeg and some salt and pepper. Moisten the breadcrumbs with the milk and squeeze off the excess, then add to the meat along with the egg. Add the hazelnuts, pine nuts, parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage and cooled vegetables and mix to combine. Form 4 miniature loaves and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.

FRUITY CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a sauce pan combine orange juice and sugar over medium heat. Once sugar is melted add cranberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Gently boil for about 10 minutes or until cranberries began to pop. Remove from heat and take the back of a spoon and mash all cranberries until all skins have been removed. Stir in blueberries, its okay to mash a little, but the idea is just to stir them inches Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Sauce will thicken upon cooling. Serve warm or cold. Sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead. Place bowl covered with saran wrap in fridge if not serving immediately. Leftovers may be frozen. Also you can use frozen blueberries, just thaw them first.
