Sheet Pan Turkey Breast and Stuffing
If you need a smaller scale holiday dinner idea, or just in the mood for a turkey and stuffing, this is the perfect dinner! A flavor packed boneless skinless turkey breast roast cooked with the stuffing on one sheet pan for a simple holiday meal. Inspired by my sheet pan pork tenderloin recipe, I roast the turkey breast brushed with hoisin sauce for a delicious savory flavor and finish with homemade garlic herb butter. I also used my favorite sausage apple cranberry stuffing adapted for a sheet pan.
Sheet Pan Turkey and Stuffing Ingredients
- Boneless Skinless Turkey Breast Roast – found in the frozen section.
- Hoisin Sauce – adds a delicious umami flavor to the turkey breast.
- Butter – You’ll need both softened and melted butter.
- Garlic – freshly minced is most flavorful.
- Fresh Herbs – fresh herbs of the stuffing and garlic butter really make the dish special.
- Sourdough French Loaf – diced into large pieces and toasted for the stuffing.
- Dry Cubed Stuffing – these will be the base and the sourdough loaf will be added to give more texture and flavor.
- Olive Oil – for sautéing the onions and celery
- Ground Sausage – I use ground pork sausage, sweet or spicy Italian sausage would also be a great addition.
- Onions and Celery – cut into larger rustic chunks
- Apple – traditionally I have used Golden Delicious but sometimes they are hard to find, Honey Crisp or Granny Smith work well too
- Dried Cranberries – dried cherries would work as a substitute
- Low Sodium Chicken Broth – go for the low-sodium and add more salt only as needed
- Cranberry Sauce – for topping. I use my homemade Cranberry Orange Sauce.
How To Make Sheet Pan Turkey Breast and Stuffing
- Start by thawing the turkey breast completely and set out at room temperature for an hour before cooking to take the chill off.
- Prepare stuffing and spread on baking sheet.
- Place turkey breast on top of stuffing and brush with hoisin sauce.
- Cover entire pan tightly with foil and cook until internal temperature of turkey breast reaches 165.
- Top with garlic herb butter.
- Let rest and slice.
Recipe Tips
- Some turkey roasts have directions to cook from frozen on the packaging, but this recipe is intended to cook a thawed turkey breast.
- I tested this recipe with both a Butterball Turkey Breast Roast and a Jennie-O Oven Ready Turkey Homestyle Turkey Breast Roast and both worked perfectly. The Jennie-O had some seasoning already but the end result was the same so I wouldn’t make any adjustments.
- Let turkey breast rest before slicing.
- If you need to substitute dried herbs for fresh, decrease the amount and use about 1/3 the amount of dried herbs vs fresh herbs.

On a sheet pan, toast two inch cubes of sourdough loaf in oven for about 10 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside. In a large sauté pan, cook sausage in olive oil until browned, breaking up as it cooks. Add onions and celery and sauté just until they start to soften. Season with salt, pepper and stir in fresh herbs. Combine sausage mixture, apples, dried cranberries, bread cubes, and chicken broth on sheet pan. Drizzle melted butter over stuffing.

Pat turkey breast dry and place on top of stuffing. Brush turkey breast with hoisin sauce and season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 40 minutes covered. Remove foil and cook uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until turkey breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
