Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato about 6 ounces, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 turkey breast cutlet 4 ounces
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 small dinner roll

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • skillet
  • measuring cups

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Season the turkey cutlet on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Warm the dinner roll in the oven for the last 2 minutes of the sweet potatoes' cooking time.
  6. 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.
