I like to keep frozen foods on hand to avoid extra trips to the supermarket. Here’s a quick supper using ingredients from my freezer and that lets your oven do all of the work. The idea of a sheet pan meal is to simply place the ingredients on a baking sheet and bake. I add more flavor by spooning on some sauce. Use this recipe as a blueprint for amounts and times and you can substitute with whatever you have on hand.
Helpful hints:
■ A substitute for butternut squash cubes is frozen sweet potatoes.
■ Any type of sausage can be used. If precooked sausage is used, reduce the cooking time to 10 minutes.
■ I keep whole wheat pita bread in the freezer and toast it before serving.
■ Fresh scallions are added as an optional garnish.
Countdown:
■ Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
■ Prepare the ingredients on a sheet pan.
■ While the sheet pan is in the oven, mix the sauce and toast the pita bread.
Shopping List:
To buy: ¾ pound reduced-sodium chicken or turkey sausage, 1 can vegetable oil spray, 1 package frozen chopped onion, 1 package frozen butternut squash cubes, 1 package frozen green beans, 1 small bottle honey, 1 jar Dijon mustard, 1 bottle ground turmeric, 1 bunch scallions (optional), 1 package whole wheat pita bread.
Staples: canola oil, salt, black peppercorns.

2 cup frozen green beans
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking tray with foil and spray with vegetable oil spray. Add the sausage, onion, butternut squash and green beans spreading out in one layer. Place the sheet pan in the oven on the middle shelf. Roast 15 minutes. A meat thermometer for the sausage should read 165 degrees. Meanwhile, mix honey, Dijon mustard, turmeric and oil together in a large bowl and toast pita bread.
Remove pan from the oven and add the sauce to the pan. Stir around all the on the sheet pan to coat them with the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide between 2 dinner plates. Sprinkle scallions on top.
