Ingredients
Scale
1 piece Turkey cut (breast or thigh)
2 small Mini sweet potatoes (Regular potatoes can be substituted)
1 tbsp Butter (Olive oil for dairy-free option)
1 tbsp Brown sugar (Coconut sugar can be used)
1 handful Marshmallows (Vegan versions optional)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper (Freshly cracked is best)
1 tbsp Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme) (Enhances flavor)
Instructions
Season your turkey cut generously with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. Roast it in a preheated oven at 375°F until it’s cooked through and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
While the turkey is roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add your mini sweet potatoes and cook until they’re tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
In a bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes with butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until creamy and smooth.
Layer your mashed sweet potatoes in a small baking dish. Top with marshmallows and broil in the oven for about 2-3 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows turn golden and gooey.
Once everything is ready, plate your juicy turkey next to the creamy sweet potatoes. Enjoy each delightful bite!
