Easy RV Kitchen Thanksgiving Recipes

Traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday and still want to have a great home-cooked meal? Try these easy Thanksgiving recipes, which have five ingredients or less (not counting the water).

Three-Ingredient Crockpot Turkey
Think about using different types of fruit sauces in this super easy crockpot recipe.

1 frozen turkey breast, UNTHAWED
1 lb. can cranberry sauce
1 envelope dry onion soup mix

Put all ingredients into crockpot for 2 hours on high, and then reduce to low and continue cooking for 4-5 hrs. Slice turkey breast and serve with sauce. 6 servings.

Crockpot Turkey with Stuffing
1 Tbsp. oil
1 chopped onion
2 Tbsp. apple jelly
1 6-oz. pkg. turkey flavor stuffing mix, one step brand
3/4 cup water
1 2-lb. boneless, skinless turkey breast half
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in large skillet. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until light brown, stirring frequently. Add jelly and heat for 1 minute longer or until golden brown.

Spray a 4-6 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place stuffing mix in prepared cooker. Drizzle with water and mix gently. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper and place on stuffing mix. Spoon onion mixture over turkey and spread evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Serves 5

Healthy Alternative to the Spud:
Sweet Potatoes or Yams

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick generously with a fork. Place the yams on a paper towel on the floor of the microwave. Cook on high for 3 minutes, flip over and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add 3-4 minutes to the total cooking time for each additional potato. Let the potatoes sit for 3-5 minutes after cooking before eating.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar or drizzle with honey. Salt to taste. No butter required.

Easy French Green Beans
1 (9 ounce) package frozen French-style green beans
1 (4.5 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
Crushed toasted slivered almonds

Cook green beans according to package directions; drain. Add mushrooms and keep warm. Combine butter and rosemary; drizzle over bean mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with almonds. (1/4 tsp. dried basil, optional.)

Perfect Spinach Salad
3/4 cup pecans
2 ripe peaches
4 cups baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1/4 cup poppyseed salad dressing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange pecans on a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, until they just begin to darken. Remove from oven and set aside.

Peel peaches (if desired) and slice into bite-sized segments. Combine peaches, spinach and pecans in a large bowl. Toss with dressing until evenly coated, adding a little additional dressing, if necessary.
