I am so excited to have partnered withReynolds Wrap®Foilto bring you this sheet pan turkey dinner.

Thanks to Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil, now the entire holiday meal can be made in just one sheet pan!

Why We Love This Dinner

As much as we love a perfect roast turkey, this is a great recipe to serve for just your family this holiday.

  • This meal makes just enough for 4 people with all of our favorite fixings!
  • Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil makes cooking (and cleanup) a total breeze. Sectioning the baking tray keeps everything in its place and helps ensure proper cooking.
  • This recipe is versatile: swap out Brussels sprouts for broccoli. Use a pre-made stuffing mix. Prefer mashed potatoes? Smash them up before adding to the pan!

How to Prepare the Pan

You’ll need a large baking pan for this recipe (mine is 13″x18″ ). If you don’t have a large pan, two smaller pans can be used but check they’ll fit in your oven side by side.

Next, you’ll want to create your sections. Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil is best for this as it stands up well to all the ingredients and it won’t tear (which also makes for extra easy cleanup).

You’ll use just over of the pan for the turkey and stuffing, about of the pan for the potatoes, and the remaining for the Brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce.

Cut a large piece of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil and fold it in half. Curl up the edges to create each section.

The easy cleanup for this recipe means more time with family and less time scrubbing dishes in the kitchen!

Proudly made in the U.S.A, Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil is available in both 12-inch and 18-inch rolls making it perfect for everything from foil packs to creating a waterbath for cheesecakes and of course this sheet pan meal!

How to Make Sheet Pan Turkey Dinner

Prepare pan as directed above using Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil.

  1. Prepare stuffing and set aside (ensure your stuffing is not too moist as the turkey will release juices).
  2. Season turkey and place in the largest section of the pan. Surround with stuffing.
  3. Par cook the sliced potatoes about 5 minutes, toss with seasonings. Place in the middle section of the pan, drizzle with cream, top with butter.

  1. Fill a bowl with fresh cranberries and sugar. Add to the pan and place in the oven.
  2. Add Brussels sprouts in the last 20 minutes of cook time according to the recipe below.

To Serve

  • Carefully remove cranberry sauce from the pan and transfer to a serving bowl to cool.
  • Allow the turkey breast to rest before slicing.
  • While turkey is resting, toss Brussels sprouts with bacon and move to a serving plate.
  • Place turkey and stuffing on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or sage.

We like to serve Turkey Dinner with our easy turkey gravy recipe, some homemade fresh buns, and a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert!

Variations & Shortcuts

STUFFING can be swapped out for your favorite homemade stuffing recipe, cornbread dressing, or even a couple of boxes of store-bought stuffing mix. Ensure it isn’t too moist going onto the pan.

POTATOES are sliced and partially pre-cooked. If you use thin-skinned potatoes no peeling is required. If you prefer mashed potatoes, they should be chilled before adding to the pan and can be lightly covered with foil.

VEGETABLESSwap out Brussels sprouts for your favorite veggies from broccoli to asparagus. Keep in mind that some veggies will need less time and should be added later so they don’t overcook.

CRANBERRY SAUCEMost ceramic bowls are oven-safe (check the bottom of your bowl, it should indicate). Use a bowl much taller than the cranberries as it will boil up as it cooks and can easily boil over. If you’d prefer, homemade or store-bought cranberry sauce can be made ahead of time and doesn’t have to go on the pan.

Tips for Success

  • Use Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foilto ensure the sections hold their shape and the foil doesn’t tear.
  • The turkey will release juices into the stuffing so you do not want it to be too moist going onto the pan. Ensure you use dry bread cubes.
  • Cut Brussels sprouts in half so they are roughly the same size so they will cook at the same rate.
  • Depending on the size and shape of your turkey breast, cook time can vary slightly. Check the turkey a bit early and use an instant-read thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F.
  • As there won’t be juices in the pan to make gravy, keep a packet of gravy mix on hand or prepare gravy from chicken/turkey broth. This can be done 24 hours in advance.

Ingredients

Stuffing

  • ½ cup onion finely diced
  • ½ cup celery finely diced
  • cup butter
  • ¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups stale/dry bread cubes about 8 slices of bread
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs I used parsley, thyme, and sage
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups chicken broth
  • salt & pepper to taste

Turkey

  • 2 pounds boneless turkey breast with skin
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs I used parsley, thyme, and sage
  • salt & pepper

Potatoes

  • 1 ½ pounds yellow potatoes
  • ½ onion thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • pats of butter to taste

Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups cranberries about 6 ounces
  • ½ cup sugar
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice or water

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound brussels sprouts
  • 2 slices bacon uncooked, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Pan

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

  • Line a large 18"x13" sheet pan with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil. Divide the tray into sections using foil. The first section is for the turkey and stuffing, about 8” of the pan. Make the middle section about 5” for the potatoes and the last section will be 5” for the brussels sprouts. Generously spray each section with cooking spray (or use Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil to keep food from sticking). Set aside.

Stuffing

  • Cook onion & celery in butter with poultry seasoning over medium-low heat until tender but not browned, about 10 minutes.

  • Combine bread cubes, onion mixture & herbs in a bowl. Toss with broth, a little bit at a time until bread is moist (but not soggy). You may not need all of the broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Turkey

  • Rub the outside of the turkey breast with oil. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning and fresh herbs and season generously with salt & pepper. Place in the largest section of the pan. Arrange stuffing around the turkey breast and place pats of butter on the stuffing if desired.

Potatoes

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  • Scrub the potatoes and slice ¼″ thick. Boil 5 minutes or just until tender-crisp. During the last minute of cooking, add the sliced onions to the water. Drain well.

  • Toss the potatoes with rosemary, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Place in the middle section of the pan. Drizzle with the cream and add pats of butter on top of the potatoes.

Cranberry Sauce

  • Combine sauce ingredients and place in 1 or two small oven-proof bowls (this will need to expand so allow extra space in the bowl). Cover with foil and nestle the bowls in the sections where you have space.

Brussels Sprouts

  • Rinse brussels sprouts and drain well. Remove any discolored leaves and cut in half if large. Toss with oil and season with salt & pepper. Set aside (these will be added later in cooking).

Baking

  • Place the sheet pan in the middle of the oven and bake 25 minutes. Add brussels sprouts and uncooked bacon to the remaining section. Bake an additional 25-35 minutes or until turkey is cooked to 165°F.

  • Remove from the oven and rest 15 minutes before serving.

  • While the turkey is resting, remove the foil from the cranberry sauce, stir and transfer to a cool bowl.

  • Toss Brussels and bacon to combine. Slice the turkey breast and serve.

Notes

Bread should be dried before making stuffing. Cut and leave out 24 hours or dry in the oven at 325°F for about 7-9 minutes. Cool completely.

The turkey will release juices into the stuffing so ensure it is not too moist when placing on the pan.

The cranberries will bubble up while cooking so ensure your bowl is much larger than needed so it doesn't bubble over.

These are simple roast potatoes. Potatoes can be mashed/smashed after baking while the turkey rests or topped with additional butter and/or gravy for serving.
