This is a Thanksgiving meal all in one pot and is a great way of inducing a special meal into our everyday life without spending hours in the kitchen.  The turkey, cranberries and green beans may be fresh or frozen.  If using frozen ingredients there is no need to thaw, it won’t change the amount of cooking time.  You may also use dried cranberries and if you’re in a pinch use orange juice with pulp instead of the marmalade.
