EXPERT TIPS

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.
