Thanksgiving Dinner Ingredients & Notes

Turkey: This recipe calls for a fully thawed, boneless skin-on turkey breast. Because turkey breast sizes will differ, make sure to check the temperature of your turkey with an instant read thermometer!Butter: Butter helps hold the herbs between the skin and meat– plus it keeps the meat from drying out!Fresh Garlic and Herbs: I use garlic and herbs for both the turkey and the dressing. I highly recommend freshly minced garlic and fresh herbs– it really makes a difference!Olive Oil: helps the turkey and green beans roast and caramelize on the outside.Sweet Potatoes: This recipe calls for fresh, raw sweet potatoes. I cook them in the microwave first to soften them– but you could also use canned yams if you prefer.Milk: Keeps the sweet potato casserole light and fluffy.Brown Sugar: Slightly sweetens the potato casserole.Egg: Holds the casserole and dressing together and provides a bit more substance.Cinnamon: Pairs perfectly with sweet potato and adds a bit of spice and warmth.Mini Marshmallows: I love sweet potato casserole topped with mini marshmallows, but this is optional!Stock: Chicken stock helps wet the bread in the dressing to create a soft inside and crusty exterior!Dressing: I season the dressing with carrots, celery, and garlic but feel free to use whatever vegetables you like– shallot, leek, or mushrooms would be great substitutes.Bread: If you don’t have stale bread, you can roast the bread on a separate sheet pan during the turkey’s first roast to dry it out.Green Beans: I’m using green beans but any vegetable would work here– asparagus would also be delicious!
