EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Look for sweetened dried cranberries in the produce, bulk or dried fruit section of the grocery store.

Sweet potatoes are high in vitamins A and C, and low in fat. One-half cup of sweet potatoes is comparable to one medium carrot as an excellent source of vitamin A.

Garnish a platter of sliced turkey, sweet potatoes and cranberries with thin slices of orange and fresh marjoram sprigs. Have guests ladle the pan juices from a decorative bowl.

Fantastic flavors. I made this for Thanksgiving last year and it was a huge hit!

I forgot the onions but it was still yummy. Even my husband liked it and he doesn't usually like anything with cranberries. We will make it again. By the way, I cooked it in a crockpot.

My whole family LOVED this! All of the great "fall" flavors in one pan! My 13 yr. old even requested this for Thanksgiving! Will definitely make again.

I really liked this with the changes that I made. I used a turkey drumstick and added yams along with the sweet potatoes. The yams added even more color. I enjoyed the turkey smell on Thanksgiving & had leftovers without being overwhelmed.
