Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Casserole Recipe

1 large egg
2 egg whites
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1-1/2 to 2 lb whole turkey breast
3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2 inch cubes
2 Tbsps olive oil
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp dried crushed sage
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and lightly coat a 9x13 baking pan with oil.

Put egg and egg whites in a shallow bowl and whisk until frothy.

In a separate shallow bowl add the garlic powder, black pepper, and pecans, and stir to combine.

Coat the turkey breast first in the whisked eggs then place in the pecan mixture, turning to cover the turkey well with the dry mixture on all sides. Carefully place in the prepared baking pan.

In a separate bowl, put the sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, sage, and cinnamon (if using) and toss until coated well.

Now scatter the sweet potatoes evenly around the turkey breast.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for 20 minutes more or until the turkey breast is thoroughly cooked and the sweet potatoes are tender.

Remove turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly and serving with spoonfuls of sweet potatoes alongside.
