Ingredients
- 4 turkey breasts
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. [Brush the grill grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.]
- Prepare the sweet potatoes. [Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick slices. Toss the sweet potato slices in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place the sweet potatoes on the grill, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks (about 15-20 minutes).
- Prepare the turkey breasts. [Pat the turkey breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brush the mustard mixture evenly over the turkey breasts, and season them with salt and pepper.]
- Grill the turkey. [Place the turkey breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.]
- Serve. [Arrange the grilled turkey breasts and sweet potatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.]
This grilled turkey with sweet potato and mustard is a delightful blend of flavors that brings comfort to any meal. The slight tang of the mustard complements the sweetness of the potatoes beautifully, making it a dish you'll want to revisit time and time again. Enjoy!
