Sausage and Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe

Sheet pan dinners are the MVP of weeknights. You can think of them as the cooler older brother to the crockpot; same amount of prep, same amount of clean up, with a quicker time table and way less soccer-mom vibes. During a base mileage training phase, I find myself ravenous and ready for dinner to be done 5 minutes ago. The last thing I want to do is come home to prepare an intricate recipe and then wait an eternity for it to be complete. With this particular recipe, I have been known to speed it up further by washing and chopping produce ahead of time and mixing and storing the sauce in the refrigerator. You could even go as far as fixing the entire meal and wrapping the sheet pan in the fridge until ready to cook. My personal preference to executing a sheet pan dinner: 1. Come home from a long training session. 2. Gather ingredients. 3. Chop and season ingredients according to instruction. 4. Place pan in oven. 5. Take a shower. 6. Arrive back to the kitchen feeling fresh like a gourmet chef. Sheet pan dinners can be completely customizable to your personal preference. The possibilities are endless when it comes to protein-vegetable combinations. Or for our sake: protein-vegetable-fruit combination. This recipe yields an ideal proportion of protein, carbohydrates, and fibrous vegetables to aid in recovery and replenishment. When I am in an especially high mileage part of training, I will eat this recipe over a bed of quinoa or brown rice.

Yield: 2 servings Ingredients: 1 Red Onion, medium 1 Gala Apple 1 Carrot, large 1 cup Brussels Sprouts 2 Yukon Gold Potatoes, medium 2 Italian Turkey Sausage or Chicken Sausage, 3 oz each 1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning 4 Tbsp. Plain Greek Yogurt 1 ½ Tbsp. Dijon Mustard 3 tsp. Honey 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
