Turkey breast is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a festive holiday gathering, but you need some declious sides to pair with it.
I have included all my favorite salads, comforting casseroles, and potato dishes. Below are fresh salads like arugula with citrus vinaigrette or spring mix with a balsamic glaze.
For some heartier recipes, opt for roasted vegetables like rosemary air-fried baby potatoes, spicy roasted carrots with orange, or crispy garlic butter Brussels sprouts.
Also, try classic casseroles like light-as-air sweet potato soufflé or butternut squash mashed potatoes. These dishes are satisfying and perfect to serve with turkey breast.
