Ingredients
- butter
- 1 ½ pounds turkey breast
- 1 cup raw cranberries
- 4-5 sprigs of thyme
- salt and pepper
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 2 sweet potatoes
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to ℉. Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish with butter.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the raw turkey breast and place the turkey breast in the center of the prepared dish. Pour the cranberries around the turkey and place the thyme sprigs on top of that. Sprinkle a little salt on top of the cranberries.
- Put the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. Halfway through, remove the turkey from the oven, brush a little olive oil on top of the turkey, and return the dish to the oven.
- While the turkey is cooking, peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes to a small pot and add water until the potatoes are covered. Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat until tender.
- Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a small microwavable bowl. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top and microwave in 30 second increments until the brown sugar has melted, stirring well each time. Remove from microwave when sweet potatoes are covered in brown sugar sauce.
- When the turkey has reached an internal temperature of 165℉, remove it from the oven. Allow it to rest 5 minutes before slicing it. Serve the turkey and cranberries along with sweet potatoes.
