Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 pounds boneless turkey breast in the center of a large sheet pan. Brush the turkey evenly with half of the maple glaze.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss 3 peeled and chopped carrots, 2 peeled and chopped parsnips, and 4 quartered red potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well coated. Arrange the vegetables around the turkey breast on the sheet pan.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the pan and brush the turkey again with the remaining maple glaze. Stir the vegetables to ensure even roasting.
  5. Step 5: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the turkey slices alongside the roasted root vegetables.
