- Spread sweet potatoes on a baking pan and roast in oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove turkey from the slow cooker.
- Pour the liquid left behind in the slow cooker into a measuring cup and remove as much of the fat as you can.
- Melt the butter into a saucepan on medium high heat and combine with 2 tablespoons of flour.
- Whisk and let cook on medium for one minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Add in the rest of the turkey liquid and let it cook until thickened, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper (I use 1/2 teaspoon of each).
- Remove sweet potatoes and top with additional 3 tablespoons brown sugar.
- Microwave or steam the green peas.
- Serve turkey, covered with gravy, sweet potatoes covered with brown sugar and steamed peas on the side.
