This is the easiest Thanksgiving dinner for two on a sheet pan in just 2 hours of cooking!
Thanksgiving is the culinary super bowl of holidays in the Goldstein house! This is the one holiday everyone gets together at either Mama Goldstein house in NJ or my sisters in Maryland. We stuff our bellies with food from morning to night. Then the next day we shop all over the city for deals. I love love love Thanksgiving. This year with the pandemic, I wanted to make a turkey dinner for just me and Tom and not have to make tons of recipes and mess up our small NYC apartment. We will still see my mom to shop on Friday but will being doing a zoom Thanksgiving! The best part about this recipe is you can make this all year long and have the leftovers for lunch! Happy Thanksgiving and I am soooo thankful for you following me and cooking with me!
The Steps To Turkey Dinner On Sheet Pan
1: Mix the stuffing and place on 1/2 the sheet pan.
2: Poke holes in the sweet potatoes, mix with oil, and place on sheet pan.
3: Add turkey smeared with herb butter onto the stuffing and cook for 1 hour 30 mins.
4: Add asparagus, and sweet potatoes mixed with cinnamon butter and topped with marshmallows. Cook 30 minutes longer!

Gratitude Tip While You Cook:
My mission with Chop Happy is to create easy recipe for busy people with a dash of gratitude! Since we all have to be in the kitchen at some point in our day lets use that time to zen out and gain more gratitude.
For the time the turkey cooks visualize your dreams as if it is already here. Working on you does not have to be a long drawn out process. It can be as simple as a couple of pages of a motivational book. The perfect book to read to learn more about finding calmness, your dreams and making your wishes a reality is The Secret!
Recipe Hack / Cooking Tips:
- Juiciest Turkey: Brine the turkey in buttermilk, salt, and garlic powder overnight! The city from the buttermilk will breakdown the proteins and tenderize the turkey and make its so juicy.
- Herb Butter Your Turkey: Mix butter, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (full recipe below) and smear all over the turkey so it bastes in butter magic.
- Gratitude While Stirring: Use the kitchen as a place for self care. As you stir or chop say what you are grateful for. I do this all the time so that cooking can be a time to recharge.
