Friday Recipe: Thanksgiving in a Skillet

Had enough turkey? If not,  here’s a recipe they were handing out at Trader Joe’s last year:
Thanksgiving in a Skillet
1 pkg Ground Turkey
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 stick butter
1 pkg diced yams
1 pkg Stuffing mix
3 1/2 cups water

Melt butter in skillet with cover. Add onions and ground turkey. Cook until the onions are soft and turkey is cooked through. Add diced yams, water and stuffing seasoning pack to skillet. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer until yams are cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Add stuffing. Turn off the heat. Leave skillet covered for 3-4 minutes. Uncover, stir, serve with Cranberry Sauce on the side (optional).

The pre-cut yams were four or 5 dollars, and it was less than 2 dollars for a bag of regular sweet potatoes, so I cut them myself. The recipe card lists this website: www.tjrecipes.com– which is not a Trader Joe’s website. I found it listed here: http://tjrecipes.com/?p=969 , butt it is slightly different. If I make this again soon, I will have to make potato filling and Cope’s Dried Corn as sides… because can you believe this– I had neither for Thanksgiving!
