Thanksgiving: 30-Minute Thanksgiving

List of Ingredients




4 medium white potatoes

4 turkey breast cutlets

1 stick butter

Box of prepared heat-and-eat stuffing

Packet of just-add-water gravy mix

14-ounce can cranberry sauce



Recipe



Turn on the oven broiler. Clean the potatoes and cut away any eyes or other imperfections. One at a time, start microwaving the potatoes. They're ready when a fork can be inserted easily. Medium potatoes take about 5 minutes; add a minute or two for larger potatoes (times may vary by microwave).

While the potatoes cook, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the cutlets to the pan and cook 2 minutes per side, then set aside. Wrap cooked potatoes in foil to keep them warm.

:Make the stuffing according to package directions.

Arrange the cutlets in a roasting pan (or disposable rectangular aluminum pan), along with any extra butter from the frying pan. Spoon the stuffing over the cutlets, covering them well to prevent them from drying out while broiling.

Place the pan under the broiler. Once the stuffing has browned, about 1 minute, remove the pan and cover with foil. Return the pan to the broiler for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through.

Make the gravy according to package directions.Open the can of cranberry sauce and spoon into a serving bowl.

If you have an extra 10 minutes, consider the following additions:

- Before starting other preparations, prepare a box of cornbread mix according to (often very simple) package directions. Baking time is about 20 minutes, so you want to put that in the oven before anything else. Consider baking it in a greased cast-iron frying pan. It will turn golden-brown, and removes easily from the pan if cut into pie-shaped wedges. It cooks up even faster if you preheat the frying pan on top of the stove or in the oven.

- Enhance out-of-the-box stuffing. Chop up half an onion, a couple of mushrooms and a stalk of celery. Saute the vegetables in butter with 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, then add the water and stuffing mix.
