Uses up leftover turkey - this is a great way to use up leftover turkey!

Once a year, my husband and kids went on a berry picking excursion. And since Saskatoon berry season had (sadly) already ended, I ended up an oversupply of black currants. "Bring home LOTS is what you said", chirped my loving family. Yeah, but that's when I thought they were Saskatoon berry-picking...

It's a good thing I love black currants too. But even for someone who loves black currants, 5 ice cream buckets is a lot to deal with!

🥘 Ingredient Notes

Turkey. If you are buying deli meat, be sure it's the "roasted turkey".
Black currant jam. Black currant jam and brie pair perfectly with turkey!
Red chili sauce or red pepper jelly. This lends a sweet and spicy flavor to these bites!
French Baguette. A French Baguette is the best because it's the perfect ratio of crusty on the outside and soft on the inside!

📖 Variations

Jam: Black currant jam (affiliate link) and it isn't always easy to find in stores, so you could substitute blueberry or blackberry if need be. However, black currant really is the ideal jam for this recipe because it's a little more tart than other jams and goes really well with savory ingredients. And it's easy to make because you don't need pectin!

Turkey: Use leftover turkey or roasted turkey deli meat!

Fresh herbs: I use fresh rosemary, but you can use another fresh herb such as parsley.

Spicy: if you like it a little spicier, add a little extra red chili sauce (see NOTES). If you can't find it, use red pepper jelly (affiliate link)

🌡️Storing

You can make this delicious baked brie bites in advance, then warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving. They can be stored in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 2 days after they are made.

I don't recommend freezing them, as this ingredient combination doesn't stand up to freezing.

Do you take the rind of brie before baking?

Yes, for this recipe, I peel the rind with a vegetable peeler. However, if you're baking a whole brie, you wouldn't remove the rind. The rind IS edible,
