Sheet pan dinners are one of my favorite ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort. Plus, I love that everything cooks together, so cleanup is a breeze. They’re easy, mostly healthy, and just the right size for feeding my family of four without a fridge full of leftovers we’ll never finish.

This Sheet Pan Turkey Dinner is a go to in our house, especially on busy weeknights when I still want something comforting and homemade. It’s also perfect for a smaller Thanksgiving or Christmas when you don’t feel like cooking a huge feast. I like to serve it with a side of stuffing balls or warm cornbread and maybe a quick dessert for a complete, cozy meal. The turkey tenderloin roasts up juicy and flavorful, the vegetables get those crispy edges we all fight over, and the mix of brown sugar and zesty Italian seasoning makes the kitchen smell absolutely amazing. My family always knows what’s for dinner the second they walk in the door.

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• We usually line our baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil for easy cleanup. It is important to have your protein in the center of the sheet pan so it can absorb the most heat.  Make sure to cut all your vegetables the same shape and size so the roast evenly.

• Make sure not to overcrowd your ingredients, so they roast and won't get soggy from the moisture. You can use two baking sheets if yours isn't large enough.

• You can easily switch up this Sheet Pan Turkey Dinner with a few fun substitutions and additions. If you don’t have turkey tenderloin on hand, pork tenderloin works wonderfully and still turns out juicy and flavorful. For a sweeter glaze, swap the brown sugar with ¾ cup of honey. To add even more depth, try using garlic infused olive oil instead of plain vegetable oil for a subtle garlicky kick. And if your family likes a little spice, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes with the seasoning mix for gentle heat that balances perfectly with the sweetness of the honey or brown sugar.

• Try using parsnips, carrots, turnips, or rutabaga in place of the potatoes or sweet potatoes for a hearty twist. In fall and winter, butternut squash, acorn squash, or delicata squash make wonderful substitutions, while in summer, zucchini or yellow squash add a lighter touch.

• If you’d like to change the greens, replace the Brussels sprouts with broccoli florets, broccolini, or even green beans. Red onion can be swapped for yellow or sweet onion, or even shallots for a milder flavor. Bell peppers bring color and sweetness, and mushrooms like button or portobello add a savory richness.
