Sheet Pan Herb Turkey with Sweet Potatoes & Green Beans (40g Protein, Under $10 for Two)
A full Thanksgiving-style dinner for two on one sheet pan — herb-roasted turkey breast, sweet potatoes, and green beans with 40g of protein per serving, ready in 40 minutes for under $10 total. This is Thanksgiving dinner scaled down for a regular Tuesday, or for a small table where a whole bird makes no sense. Everything roasts on one pan, and you still get the turkey, the sweet potatoes, and the green beans.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on one side of the pan.
- Mix the remaining olive oil with the garlic, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper, then rub it all over the turkey.
- Place the turkey on the pan and roast for 15 minutes.
- Add the green beans to the pan, tossing them in the pan juices, and roast another 12-15 minutes, until the turkey reaches 165°F inside and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Rest the turkey for 5 minutes, slice, and serve with the vegetables.
Notes
Buy a turkey breast tenderloin or a small bone-in turkey breast instead of a whole bird — you get the Thanksgiving flavor for a fraction of the cost and no leftovers you can’t finish.
