One-Hour Thanksgiving Dinner
INGREDIENTS:
1 5-6 lb Fully pre-cooked smoked Turkey breast.
Certain brands are readily available in almost
every U.S. supermarket, however they must be fully
cooked frozen turkey breast, as they only require 1
hour of heating. Avoid processed turkey breast loaf.
2 Cans of desired vegetables.
1-2 box package(s) of instant potatoes or stuffing.
1 Package of 12 instant frozen Biscuits. The frozen
home-baked butter variety works best. It is important
that the biscuits in a can are not used.
1 Package of turkey gravy mix.
1 Small disposable Aluminum turkey pan with built in rack
1 Can of spray oil
(can be substituted by regular vegetable oil).
Optional:
1 pre-made Pumpkin pie.
1-2 cans Cranberry sauce.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Make sure you have thawed the turkey breast. A frozen 5-6
pound breast thaws over 1 day in the refrigerator. It is also
very important that you have purchased a frozen fully pre-cooked
breast. The term heat and serve may be on the bag that the turkey
comes in.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
3. Remove turkey from bag and place in aluminum roasting pan.
4. Spray the turkey with cooking oil. If you have substituted
cooking oil for regular vegetable oil rub the breast with the oil.
5. Place turkey breast in the oven on the middle rack.
6. Allow the turkey to cook for 15 minutes.
7. Begin the turkey gravy mix according to package directions.
8. Place the vegetables on the range set to low heat.
9. Prepare the instant potatoes or stuffing according to the package
directions.
10. On a small pan lay out your frozen biscuits allowing them to
touch one another. At this point the turkey breast should have been
cooking for 30 minutes.
11. Place your biscuits on the lower rack. The biscuits will cook
just fine with turkey in the oven and will be ready in 25-30 Minutes.
Check them at 20 minutes to be sure they do not burn.
12. Finish preparing your instant potatoes or stuffing, instant gravy,
and vegetables. Place them in serving dishes if desired. Place the
cranberry sauce in a serving dish. If you are serving pie along with
the dinner you will also need to place the pie on a serving dish. If
a frozen pie has been purchased follow the microwave directions.
13. At the end of the hour remove the turkey. It is recommended that
you use a food thermometer to make sure it has achieved a temperature
of 160 degrees*. Remove the turkey and serve.
