I created this dish as a mish-mash of a few different recipes, all of which I was missing at least one ingredient for, so I decided to wing it and create my own. My husband loved it so much that he even requested it for dinner the next day! I should also tell you, this dinner is perfect for thanksgiving leftovers, and very, very healthy. Without further delay, here is the recipe, with instructions and pictures following:
4 turkey breasts
2 cooking apples (I used Cortland)
1/2 onion
2 Sweet potatoes
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
Drizzle of Olive Oil
Salt and Peppers to taste
Peel and cut up 2 sweet potatoes. Place in pan of boiling water and boil for about 5 minutes You only want to lightly soften these so you don't overcook the turkey trying to cook the sweet potatoes at the same time.
While the potatoes are boiling, peel a slice (think thick slices) 2 apples. Place in baking dish.
Peel and finely dice onion. Place on top of apples. Lightly drizzle olive oil over apples and onion. sprinkle a small amount of salt on top.
Drain and rinse sweet potatoes. Layer on top of the apples and onions in baking dish.
Lightly flour all sides of the 4 turkey breasts. In a small bowl, mix together honey and mustard. Pour breadcrumbs into a small bowl. With turkey breasts on the plate with flour, cover one side of the breasts with honey mustard and then lightly bread with the breadcrumbs. Place each breast, breaded side down, and cover floured sides with honey mustard and breadcrumbs. Salt and Peppers to taste. Cook covered at 400 for 40 minutes. Remove foil and return to oven for additional 20 minutes.
Don't be fooled by the cooktime. This dish only takes 10 minutes to put together, and then pop in the oven and enjoy
an hour later. Also can be made earlier in the day and reheated at dinner time. My boys really loved this, and you will too, especially when looking for dishes to use all that leftover turkey with. Alternately, you could swap out the turkey for chicken and this dish would work just as well. Enjoy!
