Turkey dinner, cranberry sauce

This was put together with impressive speed and ease.

Five minutes max. 

Here's how.

The turkey was frozen and vacuum packed. 

So was the cornbread/sausage stuffing.

Those two things were last, microwaved for 1.5 minutes.

That's the plate that the rest goes onto. But it's last.

Cranberries are first, put into a small pot with boiling water and grated ginger, salt, sugar, cinnamon. Cooked while watching the berries pop. This took the longest. It's put on the plate last.

Thawed turkey stock that was previously frozen is sprinkled with cornstarch to thicken and stirred with salt and pepper. Microwaved for one minute. It makes excellent gravy in less than one minute.

Another pot with heated olive oil. Spinach to fill the pot and sprinkled with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Turned a few times and stopped the moment the spinach is wilted. This was less than one minute.

The plate is already started by reheating the turkey and stuffing. 

Gravy poured over those.

Spinach placed on the plate.

Cranberries put on the plate BOOM done.  

If you did this for a party of two it would impress your date.

If you did something similar to this for a party of, say, twenty-five, it would blow everyone's mind how amazing you are in the kitchen. Especially if you chose one of the guests to help you assemble the plates. They'd observe your éclat in action and that would stick with them the rest of their lives. They'd be all, "Remember that time I helped you with that party when we made our own cranberry sauce?" You'd never hear the end of it.
