You can prep for kebabs and marinate it while turkey and veggies are cooking. Once the turkey is done, you can prepare kebabs which takes no more than 20 minutes.

Steps to prepare Delicious Recipe Idea For Thanksgiving
Step I (For the turkey)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
- Cook Jennie-O® Oven Ready™ Boneless Turkey Breast in a roasting pan as per package instructions for 1 hour 50 minutes. You can check the video above.
- After cooking, remove the turkey from its oven safe plastic and let it rest for 5 minutes. To take it to the next level, I have prepared a rub using brown sugar and cayenne powder.
- Apply this rub on the turkey and cook it for another 10 minutes at 475 degree F.
- Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- In a small pan on medium heat, add the contents from the gravy packet along with ¾ cup of water and bring it to nice boil. Transfer this to a gravy boat and keep it aside.
Step II (Hasselback Potatoes)
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Using a sharp knife slice a thin piece lengthwise to create a flat base.
- Slice the potatoes 80 percent through leaving about ¼th inch thickness at the bottom.
- Place the sliced potatoes in a baking tray.
- In a bowl, add all ingredients listed under hasselback potatoes and mix well.
- Using a brush, apply the above mixture over and inside these sliced potatoes.
- Bake in the same preheated oven (375 F) for 1 hour 20 minutes or till you get the desired color and texture.
- Keep brushing it with the butter mixture every 20 minutes to get the nice golden brown color and flavor.
Step III ( Roasted Carrots)
- In the hasselback potato tray, throw in the carrots for last 15 to 20 minutes of potato baking.
Assembling the plate:
- In a large plate add Caesar salad, hasselback potatoes, roasted carrots, sliced onions (optional), bed of rice with Kebabs.
- Then add 3 to 4 slices of oven roasted turkey and spoon over some warm gravy.
- Serve and enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays
