Sweet Potato and Turkey Dinner Recipe
Sweet Potato and Turkey is by far the perfect seasonal meal idea, and it’s jam-packed with all the fall flavors we know and deeply love.
Ok my friends, this is one of those recipes that you should probably be making ASAP, as in really, don’t even finish this post and just scroll to the recipe because it’s amazing! Actually, it’s way beyond amazing it’s almost too good to be true!
I love this recipe so much that I pretty much just want to eat this nonstop. This is packed with turkey, sweet potatoes (OMG I love sweet potatoes), peas, onions, carrots, and oh my. This is like a complete Thanksgiving dinner.
Just think about it for a second, it has the turkey (and hey you can go for leftover turkey if you prefer!), and then it has all the seasonings and extras (like the peas, onions, and carrots) that taste like turkey stuffing. All of that mixed with sweet potato slices that needless to say are the perfect side. It can’t get any better than that, ok it probably could if you add some leftover cranberry sauce.
Oh, and can we please talk about how easy they are to make? In my experience, savory dishes usually take a bit more time to accomplish, but this Sweet Potato and Turkey is so easy and fast to make that is also the perfect weeknight meal for those hectic days when we have a packed to-do list with one too many things to accomplish.
So, make a huge batch, because everyone is going to be asking for doubles and even triples. And share it with your friends and family because good things are meant to be shared and they are definitely going to love you!
