Moist turkey breast and spectacular sweet potatoes — a wonderful alternative to roasting a whole bird.
 

Ingredients

2 1/2 pound(s) sweet potato(es), peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces   
2 tsp canola oil   
1/2 tsp table salt, divided   
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, divided   
1/2 cup(s) apricot preserves   
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard   
2 pound(s) boneless, skinless turkey breast(s), roast*   
1/4 cup(s) white wine   
1/2 cup(s) canned chicken broth   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a large rimmed baking pan with nonstick foil (or coat with cooking spray).

  • Put potatoes in pan; drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; toss to coat. Push potatoes to one side of pan, keeping them in a single layer.

  • In a small cup, stir together preserves and mustard until blended; set aside. Sprinkle turkey with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Place turkey on empty side of pan; using back of a spoon, spread 1/4 cup of apricot mixture over turkey.

  • Place pan in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven; pour remaining apricot mixture over potatoes and toss to mix and coat.

  • Roast, tossing potatoes once or twice, until potatoes are cooked and lightly browned and turkey is cooked through, about 25 to 35 minutes more.

  • Remove potatoes from pan; set aside. Remove turkey to a cutting board and let stand 5 to 10 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil, to allow turkey to reabsorb juices (pour any resulting juices back into roasting pan).

  • Meanwhile, place roasting pan on stove top over high heat. To deglaze pan, add wine and then broth; scrape bottom and sides of pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce reduces and begins to thicken (alcohol will burn off), about 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Place turkey and potatoes on a serving platter; pour sauce over turkey and serve. Yields about 3 ounces of turkey and 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes per serving.

Notes

  • *You might have to buy a 2 pound boneless turkey breast and remove the skin.

    This recipe is also delicious with orange marmalade instead of the apricot preserves.
