Sheet Pan Thai Turkey

Make this Sheet Pan Thai Turkey for an easy weeknight dinner packed with sweet, savoury, spicy Thai-inspired flavour.

This sheet pan dinner is the kind of recipe that works perfectly for busy weeknights. Everything cooks together on a single pan, the prep is simple, and the combination of peanut, lime, soy, and sriracha gives the turkey loads of flavour without much effort.

The slightly sweet mango balances the heat and adds freshness, while the roasted peppers and onions make it hearty enough to serve over a big bowl of rice. It’s an easy, budget-friendly dinner that feels a little different from the usual chicken rotation.

I like to marinate the turkey earlier in the day so dinner comes together even faster later on. Once everything is prepped, the entire meal cooks in about 20 minutes, making this a great option for hectic evenings.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Turkey breast – Boneless skinless turkey breast stays tender and cooks quickly.
• Brown sugar – Adds sweetness and helps balance the spice.
• Ground ginger – Adds warm flavour to the marinade.
• Soy sauce – Brings salty umami flavour.
• Sriracha – Adds a little heat.
• Peanut butter – Gives the marinade richness and Thai-inspired flavour.
• Lime – Fresh juice and zest brighten everything up.
• Red bell pepper & red onion – Roast beautifully alongside the turkey.
• Mango – Adds sweetness and freshness to balance the savoury flavours.

Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Turkey

• Cut the turkey into evenly sized cubes so it cooks evenly.
• Use a slightly firm mango so it holds its shape while roasting.
• Do not overcrowd the sheet pan or the vegetables may steam instead of roast.
• For extra heat, drizzle with additional sriracha before serving.
• Serve with jasmine rice, coconut rice, or rice noodles.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
