Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together rosemary, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the lime juice, and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oil; rub mixture all over turkey. Place in center of a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 2
Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with remaining 2 teaspoons oil; arrange, cut side down, on sheet around turkey. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of breast registers 160°F, about 50 minutes (sweet potatoes should be tender). Remove from oven, and let stand 10 minutes, tented with foil to keep warm (temperature will rise by 5 degrees).
Step 3
Cut turkey into thick slices. Cut sweet potato halves into wedges. Transfer turkey and sweet potatoes to a serving platter, and drizzle turkey with juices from baking sheet.
