1-First, gather and prepare all ingredients by washing vegetables, measuring spices, and preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a smooth cooking process.

2-Second, marinate the turkey with olive oil, chopped sage, sea salt, and pepper; let it rest for 30 minutes to absorb flavors.

3-Third, prepare the butternut squash puree by roasting diced squash at 400°F (204°C) for 25 minutes until tender and then blending until smooth.

4-Fourth, assemble the stuffing using gluten-free bread crumbs, herbs, diced vegetables, and a splash of broth; customize with vegan or low-calorie substitutes as needed.

5-Fifth, place the marinated turkey breast in a baking dish, surround with prepared stuffing, and roast for 50-60 minutes, basting occasionally.

6-Sixth, check the internal temperature of the turkey to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. For the easy mashed potatoes, roast the garlic and mash it into a paste, then boil the peeled potatoes with 1 teaspoon salt until fork tender, reserve 1 cup cooking water, drain, and mash with the paste, olive oil, and more.

7-Final step: Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes, slice, and serve with the warm butternut squash puree and stuffing. For mashed potatoes, fold in the ingredients and adjust with reserved liquid for creaminess it’s that simple!
