Cranberry Biscuits with Smoked Turkey
Cooking Light, Five Star Recipes

spicy mustard (optional)
2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons sugar
1 package active dry yeast
2/3 cup warm nonfat buttermilk (105° to 115°)
2 tablespoons warm water (105° to 115°)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
vegetable cooking spray
1 pound thinly sliced cooked smoked turkey breast

Directions:
Spicy Mustard: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup dry mustard, 1/2 cup malt vinegar and 2 egg whites lightly beaten in a small saucepan. Cook mixture over medium low heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened.

Position knife blade in food professor bowl; combine flour, baking powder, and salt in processor bowl, and pulse 2 times or until blended. Add shortening, and process 10 seconds or until blended.

Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Slowly pour yeast mixture through food chute with processor running; process until dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead in cranberries. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter into 20 biscuits. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm place (85°F), free from drafts, 20 minutes or until puffy.

Bake at 425°F for 8 minutes or until golden. Split biscuits, and fill each with 3/4 ounce turkey. Serve with Spicy Mustard, if desired.

Yield: 10 servings.
