One Pan Holiday Turkey Dinner
If you’re looking for an easy meal, this one sheet turkey dinner is a must! This is the perfect turkey dinner to make for Thanksgiving if you’re looking for something easy. Or for Christmas if you’re looking for something more traditional.
I wanted to create something that would still be delicious but not as time consuming because we’ve started a new tradition of playing games and hanging out. My husband, on Thanksgiving, normally is hunting. It’s gun-hunt season here so for the morning, it’s my mother-in-law and my two kids and me.
When I made this, I thought it was a good idea to put the potatoes in there. If I had to change how I make it next time, I think I would keep the potatoes in here because they were so yummy. But it just doesn’t feel like a holiday without mashed potatoes. I know… this is coming from me, who is the potato-aholic as my husband says, but I just feel like you need to have tasty mashed potatoes to be covered with gravy.
Another thing – I wish I would have dotted the potatoes with more butter. I did sprinkle some Italian seasoning on the potatoes. I really enjoyed the flavor of it. If you haven’t prepped yet, you might want to grab bigger potatoes too! I plan on making sure I get the biggest potatoes next time.
Most of our holidays there are just 5 of us, so keeping our meals simple is super important for me. And the easier the meal, the easier the clean up.If you’re looking for a yummy bread to make this with – I like the non-traditional. A Couple Cooks has this amazing Easy Garlic Bread recipe that you will absolutely love!
And if you want something sweet to make this with that doesn’t involve pie, you’ll love our Paleo Christmas Bark.
