Turkey Cranberry Relish Scoops Recipe

This refreshing relish came about when my sister made a wonderful gelatin salad for dessert on Thanksgiving. Cranberry is a favorite flavor for both of us, but this dessert was more refreshing and flavorful than any cranberry combination I'd had before. A few changes later, these traditional ingredients have a new life in these festive bites for any holiday party.
