Hardwood Smoked Turkey with Vanilla Apple Chutney

Ingredients:
1 package JENNIE-O® Hardwood Smoked Slow Roasted Bone-In Dark Turkey
2 small shallots, finely diced
4 tablespoons butter
4 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
½ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup apple cider or apple juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove from package and place turkey skin side up in medium shallow baking pan. 
2. Add ½ cup water to the pan. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Verify 165°F internal temperature as measured by a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat. 
3. Remove turkey from oven.  
4. Serve vanilla apple chutney over the hardwood smoked turkey. 

Vanilla Apple Chutney: 

1. Sauté the shallot in the butter over medium-high heat until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. 
2. Add the apples and continue sautéing until they start to soften, about 2 minutes. 
3. Add a pinch of salt, the apple cider vinegar, apple cider/juice, vanilla and brown sugar. 
4. Stir to mix together well and simmer uncovered on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until apples are very soft. 
5. Use a potato masher to smash the apple chutney just a few times, leaving a few chunks of apples.
