Ingredients Needed:

• 1.5–2 lbs turkey thighs and drumsticks: skin-on, bone-in, always fresh or properly frozen
• 1.5 lbs Creamer potatoes: small, tender, and great for roasting
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts: trimmed and halved
• 2 cloves garlic (optional): minced, can swap with garlic-infused oil
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary: aromatic and soothing
• 2 tbsp olive oil: for even roasting
• ½ tsp sea salt: or to taste
• Black pepper: omitted for low histamine version

How To Make Low Histamine Sheet Pan Turkey And Potatoes:

Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Bake Turkey First:
Place turkey pieces on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with half the salt. Roast for 15 minutes.

Add Veggies:
In a bowl, toss potatoes and Brussels sprouts with the remaining olive oil, rosemary, garlic (or garlic-infused oil), and remaining salt. Add this mixture to the sheet pan with turkey.

Finish Roasting:
Return the pan to the oven. Roast for another 20–25 minutes, until the turkey reaches 165°F and the vegetables are golden and crisp on the edges.

Serve:
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Recipe Tips:

• Always use fresh turkey, or freeze immediately after cooking.
• Skip black pepper—season simply with herbs and sea salt.
• Cut veggies evenly so they roast at the same rate.
• Use garlic-infused olive oil for a safer alternative to minced garlic.
• Let food cool fully before storing to limit histamine build-up.

How to Store & Reheat:

• Room Temperature: Do not leave out—cool quickly and store.
• Fridge: Store up to 24 hours in a sealed container.
• Freezer: Freeze immediately after cooling, up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
