<\/p>\nThis easy Sheet Pan Thanksgiving dinner for four is made with roast turkey breast, maple-glazed sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript> Sheet Pan Thanksgiving<\/h2>\nIf you need a Thanksgiving dinner for four people or less, or you just have a craving for the flavors of Thanksgiving dinner in, say, the middle of February, this recipe is for you. The turkey breast, slathered in mayonnaise and fragrant za\u2019atar (a Middle Eastern mix of dried herbs, sesame, and sumac), roasts up gorgeously moist and juicy. The sweet potatoes caramelize, the Brussels sprouts turn crisp and brown, and it\u2019s all served with a creamy za\u2019atar sauce on the side. But if you\u2019re going traditional Thanksgiving, pair it with my Cranberry Pear Sauce and Stuffing Muffins!<\/p>\n

<\/noscript><\/p>\nThis recipe is slightly adapted from Melissa Clark\u2019s new cookbook, Dinner in One, Exceptional and Easy One-Pan Meals<\/em>. Like all her other cookbooks, this one will surely to be a hit! It\u2019s full of skillet dinners, sheet-pan suppers, comforting casseroles, and even one-bowl cakes. Yum!<\/p>\nSheet Pan Thanksgiving Dinner Ingredients<\/h2>\n\nTurkey Breast<\/strong> seasoned with salt, pepper, and finely grated garlic<\/li>\nSauce:<\/strong> Light mayo, za\u2019atar, and lemon juice<\/li>\nSweet Potatoes<\/strong> peeled and cut into wedges, coated with olive oil<\/strong>, maple syrup<\/strong>, salt<\/strong>, and red pepper flakes<\/strong><\/li>\nBrussels Sprouts<\/strong> with olive oil<\/strong>, cumin seeds<\/strong>, and salt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Make Sheet Pan Thanksgiving Dinner<\/h2>\n\nPrep Turkey:<\/strong> If the turkey breast comes tied, untie it. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season it with salt, pepper, and garlic. Let the turkey sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.<\/li>\nMake the Mayo:<\/strong> Combine the mayonnaise and za\u2019atar. Transfer two tablespoons to a separate bowl and brush it all over the turkey. Set the remaining mayo aside.<\/li>\nSweet Potatoes:<\/strong> In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil, syrup, salt, and red pepper. Place the turkey on a rimmed sheet pan, arrange the potatoes around it, and roast for 20 minutes at 400\u00b0F.<\/li>\nBrussels Sprouts:<\/strong> Cover the sprouts with oil, cumin seeds, and salt. Toss the potatoes, and push them to one side of the pan. Add the brussels sprouts and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes until the turkey\u2019s internal temp reaches 145\u00b0F. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes, and then carve it.<\/li>\nFinish the Sauce:<\/strong> Season the reserved za\u2019atar mayo to taste and add a little oil and salt if needed, along with some lemon juice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nVariations: \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\nVegetables:<\/strong> Sliced acorn or butternut squash, cut 1-inch thick, can stand in for the sweet potatoes. Broccoli florets or broccolini can replace the brussels sprouts.<\/li>\nSpice Level:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t like spicy food, omit the red pepper flakes.<\/li>\nSweetener:<\/strong> Swap honey for maple syrup.<\/li>\nCumin:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have cumin seeds, sub a quarter teaspoon of ground cumin.<\/li>\nTurkey Skin:<\/strong> Although the skin is left on the turkey for flavor, I usually remove it before eating to reduce the fat and calories, but it\u2019s totally up to you. The nutritional info is for skinless turkey breast, and there\u2019s quite a bit! I am sure there will be leftovers even with four people eating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n
