Why this supports your day
Turkey is a natural source of tryptophan, an amino acid the body uses to produce serotonin and melatonin, which are associated with mood and sleep quality. Sweet potatoes provide Vitamin B6 and slow-release carbohydrates, and walnuts contribute healthy fats and magnesium — making this a balanced, nourishing evening meal as part of a varied diet.
