Using A Recovery Drive To Clone A New Hard Drive?

Can I use a recovery drive to clone a new hard drive? I have a recovery thumb drive and my hard drive is gone out on me! I can buy and replace the hard drive but I don't know how to put all my files and stuff back on the new hard drive! I refreshed my computer and the first thing it advised me to do was make a recovery drive, so I did and put it on a 16 gb thumb drive. Can I use that as a cloning devise?
