    If you're like me, you usually equate "turkey dinner" with a lot of work, but that's the beauty of this Turkey Sheet Pan Dinner. Since this is cooked in parts (not the whole bird!) and on only one pan with all of the fixins' you're in and out of the kitchen quickly. The best part? Only one pan to wash! (You know I love my sheet pan dinners.)

    Plus, I think it is the best leftover turkey recipe you can find! It's an easy dish to put together, but it's also fancy enough to serve for a dinner party or a special dinner with your significant other - just put everything on a platter like I have in these photos and it makes a beautiful presentation. People will be so impressed and only you will know how easy it really was!

    Ingredients

    Here is what you'll need:

    • Turkey
    • parsnips
    • carrots
    • brussel sprouts
    • whole cranberries
    • potatoes
    • seasoning salt
    • fresh rosemary
    • garlic powder
    • olive oil

    This is meant to be a brief overview of this sheet pan meal. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

    Instructions

    Cooking a turkey sheet pan dinner in the oven is a cinch! Just follow these steps (the entire printable recipe is below):

    1. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey and rinse off the entire bird.
    2. Joint out the turkey, cutting out the legs, thighs, and wings.
    3. Cut out both breasts.
    4. Marinate overnight
    5. Bake in the oven, on the sheet pan, for about an hour.

    How long do you cook a turkey per pound?

    The beauty of this turkey breast recipe is that you don't have to worry about how long to cook it since you aren't cooking the whole bird! But if you want to cook a whole turkey and use the leftovers, the general rule is roughly 15 minutes per pound of bird. This is from the USDA guidelines.

    Tips

    I use this Rimmed Baking Sheet because it is durable and the rim means  I don't have to worry about anything spilling in my oven (I hate cleaning my oven!) 

    Use parchment paper or aluminum foil to make clean up even easier for this meal.

    For a list of some of my favorite items to use when cooking, and why I chose them, please visit my Kitchen Resource page.

    Recipe Variations

    • Sweet Potatoes - instead of white potatoes, use sweet potatoes for a new flavor experience, or serve with a side of mashed sweet potatoes.
    • Mashed Potatoes & Turkey Gravy - instead of baked potato wedges, make our white cheddar mashed potatoes or red skinned mashed potatoes. Use drippings from the turkey and make a gravy. YUM!

    How to Use Leftovers

    This recipe is so easy to make your own. Try some of these ideas to make a new dinner with the leftovers:

    • Turkey Fried Rice - just take the leftover turkey, some rice, and chop up the leftover veggies and make a delicious new dinner
    • Thanksgiving Sandwich - there's nothing basic about this sandwich that uses leftover turkey. It's a twist on a classic.
    • Turkey Pot Pie - this is a great way to use up both leftover turkey and veggies.
    • Turkey Chili - you'll love this easy chili recipe, and so will your family!
