Method
Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the sweet potato cubes on a small baking sheet. Toss them with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned at the edges.
Season the turkey cutlet on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat, then cook the turkey cutlet for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set it aside on a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, add 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon dried cranberries, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon chopped rosemary. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly and the cranberries plump up to form a simple pan sauce.
Warm the dinner roll in the oven for the last 2 minutes of the sweet potatoes' cooking time.
Arrange the roasted sweet potatoes and rested turkey cutlet on a plate, drizzle the cranberry pan sauce over everything, and serve immediately with the warm dinner roll.
