Time 1h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb day-old cornbread, torn into 1-inch pieces
1 large egg
¾ cup chicken stock
1 ½ cups small sweet onion, diced
¼ cup Chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 2-pound piece of skin-on, bone-in turkey breast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
Gravy, for serving
2 medium yams, scrubbed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon toasted pecan pieces
1 tablespoon mini marshmallows
1 can 1 16-ounce bag of frozen green beans, thawed
1 can 1 10½-ounce can of cream of mushroom soup
1 cup Fried Onions

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Make the stuffing: In a large bowl, mix together the cornbread, egg, chicken stock, onion, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Spread on half of the prepared baking and let rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the turkey and yams.
  • Make the turkey: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, and thyme. Rub the butter mixture under the skin of the turkey breast until completely coated. Season the skin with the salt and pepper, then place on top of the stuffing.
  • Make the yams: Place the yams on a quarter of the baking sheet and, using a fork, puncture all over.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the green bean casserole: In a medium bowl, mix together the green beans and cream of mushroom soup.
  • After 30 minutes of bake time, remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the green bean mixture to the remaining quarter of the pan. Top with the fried onions.
  • Return the pan to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165°F (75°C), 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and slice an opening lengthwise down each yam. Add ½ tablespoon butter, ½ tablespoon pecan pieces, and ½ tablespoon marshmallows to each opening. Tent the tray with a piece of foil and let sit for about 10 minutes while the turkey rests and the marshmallows melt from the residual heat.
  • Carve the turkey, then serve with gravy and the side dishes.
  • Enjoy!

Time 2h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 25

cooking spray
1 (6 ounce) package dry stuffing mix (such as Stove Top®)
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup butter, cubed
¼ cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
¼ cup salted butter, softened
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 (4 pound) boneless turkey breast, halved
6 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 dash balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup French-fried onions
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ cup mini marshmallows
1 small pie pumpkin
½ (15 ounce) can pumpkin pie mix
6 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 large egg
2 each frozen dinner rolls
½ cup hot turkey gravy
1 (8 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 11x17-inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Prepare stuffing: Stir stuffing mix and water together in a bowl. Spread out onto one side of the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle with cubed butter.
  • Prepare turkey breast: Mix butter and poultry seasoning together in a bowl; spread under and on top of turkey skin. Place beside the stuffing on the sheet pan.
  • Prepare green beans: Toss fresh green beans with balsamic vinegar and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • Prepare sweet potatoes: Prick potatoes several times with a fork. Wrap each in a damp paper towel, ensuring all excess water has been squeezed out. Microwave each potato separately until they give a little when squeezed, 4 to 7 minutes. Start at 4 minutes and check for tenderness, adding more time if needed. Set aside.
  • Prepare pumpkin pie: Cut the top off the pie pumpkin and remove seeds and pulp. Combine pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and egg in a bowl and pour into the hulled pumpkin. Wrap the entire pumpkin in aluminum foil, leaving an opening at the top. Place the pumpkin on the sheet pan with the turkey and stuffing.
  • Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add the pre-seasoned green beans onto a corner of the sheet pan in a single layer. Scatter the chopped pecans and cranberries on top of the stuffing.
  • Place the sheet pan back into the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine melted butter and brown sugar for potatoes in a small bowl. Remove paper towels from microwaved potatoes; cut a slit down the center of each potato and add the sugar mixture evenly.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and place the sweet potatoes onto the pan.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes more.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the frozen rolls to the pan. Top the green beans with French-fried onions. Add 3 to 4 marshmallows to each sweet potato.
  • Return to the oven and continue to bake until the turkey is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each half reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer all dinner items to serving platter. Top turkey with warmed gravy and serve with cranberry sauce.
  • Return the pie to the oven until it's slightly jiggly in the center, about 25 more minutes.

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 stick plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup crumbled cooked chestnuts (about 5 ounces)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
8 cups stale 1/2-inch cubed bread, preferably brioche (see Cook's Note)
One 6- to 7-pound whole turkey breast, breast halves removed from the bone with skin attached
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 small sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
8 ounces cranberries (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/3 cup mini marshmallows
4 dinner rolls
Gravy, for serving

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Butter half of a sheet pan crosswise with 1 tablespoon of the softened butter.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, chestnuts, sage, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg in a large bowl, add the bread cubes and the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the buttered half of the prepared sheet pan, spreading it in an even layer over just the buttered part of the pan. Dot the stuffing with 2 tablespoons butter cut into small cubes.
  • Generously sprinkle the turkey breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and put them skin-side up on the other half of the sheet pan next to the stuffing. Rub the skin with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
  • Combine the Brussels sprouts, bacon, olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Toss to coat and spread out over half of the second sheet pan. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and arrange them on the other half of the sheet pan next to the Brussels sprouts. Combine the cranberries, sugar and orange zest in a small ovenproof ceramic baking dish, then cover with foil and put on the sheet pan next to the sweet potatoes.
  • Put the sheet pan with the turkey and stuffing on the rack in the upper third of the oven, and put the second sheet pan on the rack in the lower third. Cook 30 minutes, then remove both pans from the oven. Stir the Brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce once or twice, mashing the cranberries with the side of the spoon. Tent the stuffing with foil if it has started to brown too quickly. Rotate the pans but return them to their same racks. Continue cooking until the turkey skin is golden brown and crisp, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes more. At this point the potatoes should be tender, the stuffing browned in some areas, the Brussels sprouts browned and tender, and the cranberries softened and bubbling. (If the sweet potatoes are undercooked, take them off the pan and put them back in the oven directly on the rack to continue cooking until tender, up to 10 minutes more.)
  • Transfer the turkey breasts to a cutting board to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the foil from the cranberry sauce and set aside to cool. Use a fork to combine the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the brown sugar in a small bowl. Split the sweet potatoes, fluff with a fork and stir in the butter and brown sugar mixture; sprinkle with salt. Top with the marshmallows and return to the pan with the Brussels sprouts. Put the dinner rolls on the same pan and return to the oven to warm the marshmallows and rolls, 3 to 5 minutes. Carve the turkey breasts and return them to the sheet pan with the stuffing to serve. Serve with gravy.
