Cook the cranberry sauce. Add 3 cups fresh cranberries, 1 cup water, ¾ cup sugar, ½ cup dried cranberries, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1 tablespoon orange juice to a medium-sized saucepan. Stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rolling simmer, and cook until reduced by half and cranberries are beginning to burst, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to thicken.
Toast the baguette slices. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Toast in a toaster oven or full-size oven until lightly browned and crisp.
Add the turkey and swiss cheese, and melt. Layer each baguette slice with a mounc of shredded swiss cheese and sliced or shrdeed turkey breast. Toast again until the cheese melts, about 4-5 minutes.
Spoon with cranberry sauce, sprinkle with rosemary, and drizzle with hot honey. Remove the turkey toasts from the oven and place a spoonful of cranberry sauce on each crostini, then garnish with chopped fresh rosemary. Drizzle with the hot honey, and serve warm or at room temperature.

*Instead of making it homemade, you can use any cranberry sauce you like, including canned or store-bought.
