Kick the mayonnaise to the curb for this sandwich. Chef Samuel demonstrates how to elevate a plain turkey sandwich with a condiment made with in-season blueberries. The scratch-made blueberry chutney is spiked with grated orange peel, ginger, crushed red pepper and cranberry sauce—flavors that pair especially well with turkey.

1 can (16 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce
