- In another bowl, coat ½ pound green beans, ends trimmed with ½ Tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder and set aside.
- In a small bowl mix 1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, ½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Rub all sides of 2 turkey tenderloins the with ½ Tablespoon olive oil and then season the turkey with the seasoning mix before placing in the center of the sheet pan.
- Arrange on the pan, the sweet potato mixture and green bean mixture above and below the turkey tenderloins.
