This one-pan holiday recipe from Sprout Baby Food co-founder, chef and father, Tyler Florence’s book, Start Fresh, will do you wonders – bake for 30 minutes, and it’s that simple. The ingredients? Turkey breast, sweet potato, cranberries, onion, sage, olive oil, brown rice, salt & pepper (optional) – that’s it! No additives, preservatives or extra sugars. Toss in some brussel sprouts to make it extra healthy! These types of ingredients – cranberries, sage (or cinnamon or rosemary) and brussels sprouts all have antioxidants that help with metabolism, prevent cell damage and maintain healthy cell growth. Plus, the sprouts and cranberries have Vitamins such as K, C and folate.

Even more terrific is that you can use the same technique and substitute whatever meats or vegetables you have at home, and it will always turn out delicious. Add some of the recipe into the blender for baby, and you can all celebrate a delicious holiday meal together.
