What Meat Goes Well with Sweet Potatoes? (9 Meats)

When you're planning a feast for the holidays, it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the options.
Here are 3 things you should consider when deciding what meats to pair with your sweet potatoes:
1. What kind of meat do you like?
If you love turkey, then turkey it is!
But if there are more than two kinds of meat on offer, don't feel obligated to choose just one—serve up both! It's not only more delicious, but more economical as well.
Even if it costs more per pound than other options (which is often the case), it will cost less overall because it's feeding more people and they'll eat less of each serving since they don't have to fill up on just one main dish.
You can also use cheaper cuts that may require longer cooking times, which means less time in the kitchen and more time with family and friends!
2. What do the other people at your table like?
If everyone at your table loves turkey, but you really want to try a new dish this year, don't be afraid to go against the grain!
There are plenty of other options out there that will fit in just as well as turkey.
If you're feeling adventurous, why not try pairing your sweet potatoes with lamb or venison?
Or if you're looking for something more traditional, why not try a ham instead?
The key here is to make sure that everyone who is attending will be able to eat what they want—and that goes for vegetarians too!
3. How many people will be eating?
If you're hosting a large group of people and need to feed them all at once, then the best thing to do is make sure you have enough food on hand.
This way, everyone can get what they want without running out of any particular dish before others have had their fill.
If there are going to be leftovers, make sure you freeze them or give them away before they go bad!
