In a large skillet, add a dash of olive oil and then add the yams. Season with kosher salt and pepper, and a few pinches of red pepper flakes (add more if you like it hot) and then the maple syrup. Saute over medium heat, stirring continuously until the yams are soft. This may take about 20-25 minutes. Add the dried cranberries about 2/3 of the way through and continue to saute.

About

You may think that it s a bit odd having the hot with the cold, but trust me, this is delicious. The greens don't wilt from the warmth of the yams and turkey. The warmth brings out the aroma of the basil making it look and taste divine. The apple cider is lovely and brings out the sweetness from the maple syrup on the yams.
