Ingredients

  • Turkey breast 140 g
  • Sweet potato 100 g
  • Green beans 1 cup
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potato, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Toss the cubes with half of the olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) to coat evenly. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Tip: Cut the sweet potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 25 minutes. Halfway through, use a spatula to flip the cubes so they brown evenly on all sides.
    Tip: Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized for the best flavor.
  3. Prepare and grill the turkey breast. While the sweet potatoes roast, pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Brush the remaining olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) on the turkey breast and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the turkey breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
    Tip: Use a meat thermometer to check doneness to avoid overcooking and drying out the turkey.
  4. Steam the green beans. While the turkey grills, rinse the green beans and trim the ends. Bring a pot of water to boil and place a steamer basket over it. Add the green beans to the basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
    Tip: To keep the green beans bright green, plunge them into ice water immediately after steaming.
  5. Plate and serve. Arrange the grilled turkey breast, roasted sweet potatoes, and steamed green beans on a plate. Optionally, drizzle any remaining olive oil over the vegetables for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
    Tip: Let the turkey rest for a few minutes after grilling to keep it juicy.

Pro tips
