1 pan- 5 ingredient Turkey Dinner

Are you looking for a substitute to the Traditional turkey dinner?! Or maybe a fun way to use up some leftover turkey? This recipe gives you nice Fall/Thanksgiving flavors without the hassle. Plus it's a small portion- about 2 servings.

What you need!
2 turkey tenderloins (raw) OR about 2 cups of chunked leftover turkey (cooked)
1 granny smith or other green apple cut into bite size pieces
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 yellow onion, finely sliced.
3/4 cup white wine, cider, or stock
salt/pepper/poultry seasoning
Flour

If you are starting with raw meat. Season the Turkey with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, and dredge in flour.  Heat oil in large skillet. Brown turkey on both sides and remove from the pan.

(If you are using leftover meat, start here). Heat oil in skillet. Add apples and onion and cook until apples are slightly browned and onions are tender. Add cranberries, and liquid (wine, stock,cider) and bring to a simmer, scrapping any browned bits from the bottom. Slide the turkey back in and simmer until liquid reduces by half and meat is cooked/heated through.

Serve with traditional Thanksgiving favorites like mashed potatoes and green beans. Or, try serving over arugula for a great salad like twist!
