Expert Tips

Sweet potatoes were the original potato! Long before white potatoes arrived on the scene, sweet potatoes were simply known as "potatoes."

Mix things up when you use a combination of dried cranberries, cherries and currants for the 1/3 cup of dried fruit.

I loved this recipe. i switched it up a bit... i put dried cranberries and cherries in it and walnuts and before i cooked the chicken i marinated it in a citrus marinade for about an hour. the marinade definitely made it... wouldn't have been as flavorful!

This was a quick and easy dish to make. The sweet potato/cherry mixture is very sweet and definitely reminds you of Thanksgiving. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it, however found the turkey to be very bland without the dressing. The next time around I would suggest marinating or cooking the turkey in something that compliments the flavors of the dressing.
