Ingredients

Servings2
  • 350 gturkey breast(in one piece)
  • 500 gsweet potato(cut into wedges)
  • 25 mlolive oil
  • 1 tspsmoked paprika
  • 2 sprigsrosemary
  • 2 clovesgarlic(skin on)
  • 150 gGreek yoghurt 0%
  • 10 gchives(finely sliced)
  • 10 mllemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F fan.

  2. 2

    Toss 500 g sweet potato with 15 ml 25 ml olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking tray with 2 sprigs rosemary and 2 cloves garlic. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping once after 15.

  3. 3

    Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 25 ml olive oil in an oven-safe pan and sear the meat all over for 6 minutes until golden.

  4. 4

    Move the pan with the turkey to the oven for the last 12–15 minutes alongside the sweet potatoes. Internal temp should hit 70 °C — any higher and it dries out.

  5. 5

    Take the turkey out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir 150 g Greek yoghurt 0%, 10 g chives and 10 ml lemon juice with a pinch of salt for the dip.

  7. 7

    Slice the turkey breast across the grain and serve with sweet potato wedges and the yoghurt dip.

Frequently asked

Internal temp for turkey?

70 °C is the sweet spot — fully cooked but still juicy. For safety it shouldn't drop below 65 °C, but anything above 75 °C dries it out.

How long does it keep for meal prep?

3–4 days in a sealed container in the fridge. Slice the turkey cold (juicier), then warm in the microwave at 600 W for 90 seconds.
