So on Monday, I said I wasn’t really looking forward to this week. But it’s turned out to be a really good one! I managed to get myself into a better mindset and sometimes that makes all the difference, you know? And now here we are to Thursday and the weekend is in sight! We may try and go to a local park festival and we are definitely taking the kids to their first football game on Sunday to see our local Carolina Panthers play. I’m curious to see what they think of it! But speaking of busy weeks, let’s chat about sheet pan dinners! Previously I’ve shared my sheet pan chicken with broccoli and bell peppers (and Parmesan cheese sprinkled over it all) and this southwest sheet pan chicken and veggies is always a hit. Sheet pan Mediterranean chicken has some of my favorite flavors and sheet pan harvest chicken and vegetables is a fall favorite. Sheet pan meals are just so convenient and easy and there’s so many combinations! Today I’m sharing my sheet pan turkey sausages and veggies. I use whole turkey sausages (you can choose mild or hot), cubed sweet potatoes and sliced okra.
The sausages get browned and plump while the sweet potatoes and okra get a little charred on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. All kinds of warm, cozy, comforting vibes in this dinner! And even the kids loved it! M adores sausages and she ate hers and half of mine. J took down some sweet potatoes and they both tried a bite of okra, which I’ll take as a win. If you love keeping turkey sausage on hand for an easy protein like I do, check out this turkey sausage, farro and kale skillet. It’s a one-pan meal with big flavor! And these sausage and veggie flatbreads are great for an easy meal, or a date night in. Or go with smoked sausages and try this Cajun sausage skillet. Now, just a few quick notes on how to make this sheet pan turkey sausage recipe.
Notes on sheet pan turkey sausages with veggies:
The sausages let off a lot of juice as they roast. I put them on their own separate pan so the vegetables don’t get soggy. I use turkey sausages but you can use regular pork sausage if that’s what you like best. You could also substitute red-skinned or Yukon potatoes for the sweet potatoes. And if you’re not a huge okra fan, switch it out for your favorite roasted veggie. Brussels sprouts would be great here, too! I’ve kept the seasonings very simple but feel free to add your favorite spices to the vegetables.
Next time you need an easy, hands-off dinner, I hope you’ll give these sheet pan turkey sausages and veggies a try! Enjoy! XO, Kathryn
