Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon salted butter, softened
One 14-ounce can whole-berry cranberry sauce
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie dish with the softened butter. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce, granulated sugar and flour. Add the apples to the cranberry mixture, tossing to coat, and pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish.
  • For the crumb topping: In the same mixing bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, pecans and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples in the dish.
  • Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help to prevent the turkey from sticking and will also give it a nice, even sear.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the turkey will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick.
  • Cook the turkey over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the turkey once during cooking. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. It is done when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • Serve the turkey with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy.

Conclusion:

This easy skillet turkey recipe is a great way to enjoy a delicious turkey dinner without having to heat up the whole oven. It is also a great option for a weeknight meal, as it can be cooked in under an hour. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
