• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 1 onion, cut into wedges
• Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Prepare the turkey: Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper evenly over the turkey.
3. Arrange vegetables: Place carrots, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, and onion around the turkey on the sheet pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Roast the turkey and vegetables: Roast for 50–60 minutes or until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
5. Rest and serve: Remove from oven and let turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Even cooking: Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting.
• Flavor boost: Add garlic cloves or lemon wedges to the pan for extra flavor.
• Vegetable swaps: Substitute sweet potatoes, parsnips, or green beans based on preference.
• Make-ahead: Marinate the turkey overnight for deeper flavor.
• Leftover ideas: Use leftover turkey for sandwiches, salads, or soups.

Storage & Freezer Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store leftover turkey and vegetables in airtight containers for up to 3–4 days.
• Freeze: Slice turkey and freeze separately from vegetables for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
• Do not refreeze roasted vegetables multiple times: They can become mushy.

Serving & Pairing Ideas

• Gravy or pan sauce: Use the pan drippings for a quick homemade gravy.
• Side salads: Simple green salad or Caesar salad for a fresh contrast.
• Bread: Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread to soak up juices.
