This is a great way of including a special meal into our everyday life without spending hours in the kitchen. The cranberries may be dried, fresh or frozen. The turkey and green beans may also be frozen. There is no need to thaw frozen ingredients as it will not change the amount of cooking time but will save you valuable kitchen time. If you’re in a pinch use orange juice with pulp instead of the marmalade.
