These smoked turkey rolls make you smile with delight when you bite into them. They are not your usual appetizer. The layers of flavor will have your guests bombarding you with questions as to what is in there. They are smoky, slightly spicy and sweet, with a savory tang from the capers and Worcestershire sauce, combined with the mellow richness of cream cheese. This ultimate finger food is gone in 60 seconds! If you are feeling lazy and do not want to bake, the filling is also excellent as a spread for crackers.

Deviled ham gets a spicy sweet kick from raspberry chipotle sauce. It makes a delightfully different appetizer as a dip or spread and goes together fast in the food processor. If you are unable to find raspberry chipotle sauce, you can make your own or simply use a mixture of raspberry jam and hot sauce.
