  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 granny smith apple, cored and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon minced sage
  • 1 teaspoon minced thyme leaves

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 tablespoons brown butter*

  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced sage

Directions

  1. For the Stuffing: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix all the stuffing ingredients in a large bowl until well incorporated. Let soak for 15 minutes. Spread in an even layer over the left half of a large baking sheet. Make a well in the center for the turkey.
  2. For the Turkey: Mix the melted butter, sage, thyme and minced garlic together. Season the turkey breast well with salt and pepper. Place the turkey breast in the center of the stuffing and rub with the butter mixture.
  3. For the Sweet Potatoes: *For brown butter: Slice 2 sticks unsalted butter and place in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat, stirring often until it begins turns an amber color, about 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. One cup (2 sticks or 1/2 pound butter) will yield 3/4 cup brown butter. In a medium bowl, toss all the sweet potato ingredients together to coat. Spread the potatoes on the top half of the right side of the baking sheet, overlapping like a gratin. Roast for 30 minutes.
  4. For the Green Beans: Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Toss all the green beans ingredients in a medium bowl. After the sweet potatoes have roasted for 30 minutes, place the beans in an even layer on the remaining quarter of the baking sheet (bottom right side). Cook until tender and the turkey breast reads 155°F on an instant read thermometer, approximately another 20-30 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Carve the turkey breast and serve with stuffing, potatoes and green beans.
