Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb turkey breast tenderloin sliced
  • 1 lb baby potatoes Yukon Gold or fingerling work well
  • 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats up, line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  • Prepare the Turkey and Potatoes:
  • Slice your turkey breast into even, 1/2-inch slices for quick and even cooking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1.5 tbsp olive oil, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are well coated with the spices.
  • Assemble the Sheet Pan:
  • Arrange the seasoned potatoes and turkey slices on the sheet pan. Space them out so they roast evenly.
  • Scatter lemon slices, fresh cranberries, rosemary, and thyme sprigs around the turkey and potatoes. The lemon will add a bright, tangy flavor, while the cranberries offer a pop of tartness that complements the savory ingredients.
  • Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the turkey, and season the meat with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • Roast:
  • Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through cooking (about 15 minutes in), give the potatoes a stir to ensure even roasting.
  • The turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the potatoes should be golden and fork-tender.
  • Serve:
  • Once roasted to perfection, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the turkey rest for a few minutes before slicing further if needed.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
