Turkey Recipes - Adding Fruits to Turkey for a Sweet Thanksgiving Dinner

Since we have been trying different turkey recipes for our Thanksgivings, we're coming up with a new one for the coming holiday - fruit-glazed and fruit-tasting turkey. This may be more on the sweet side, but everyone will find this something other than the same old turkey. The ones we've tried the previous years were more on the savory side using fresh herbs and vegetables from our garden. Adding this fruit-glazed turkey recipe this year can add a bit of sweetness to our Turkey dish. My eldest daughter has already called it our sweet Thanksgiving dinner.
