Cookware and heat guide

  • Cookware: rimmed sheet pan
  • Heat: 425 F oven
  • Best side: rice or potatoes

Helpful answer

Prep the sauce before the pan gets hot, keep the protein in one layer, and add the sauce near the end so it coats the food without burning.

Ingredients

What you need

  • 1 lb ground turkey or turkey cutlets
  • 2 cups potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup rice or potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or scallions
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or crushed peanuts, optional

Directions

How to make it

  1. Minute 0-5, cutting board and knife: break ground turkey into small pieces or slice cutlets thinly. Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces.
  2. Minute 5-8, small bowl: whisk sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, and a touch of honey.
  3. Minute 8-10, rimmed sheet pan: heat the oven to 425 F and coat the pan with 1 tablespoon oil.
  4. Minute 10-22, 425 F oven: spread the protein and potatoes in one layer. Roast until the edges start to brown.
  5. Minute 22-30, same sheet pan: brush on half the sauce and roast until glossy and cooked through. Cook turkey until no pink remains and it reaches 165 F.
  6. Minute 30-34, serving bowl: rest for 3 minutes, spoon over the remaining sauce, and serve with rice or potatoes.

Tips

Make it yours

  • Keep the pan at 425 F oven; lower the heat if the sauce darkens too fast.
  • Cut potatoes evenly so the pieces cook at the same speed.
  • Make the sauce before cooking so the final toss takes less than 2 minutes.
  • For meal prep, store the sauce separately and reheat gently.
