Before starting, preheat 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Remove 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature -- this will create the perfect spreadable condiment! Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in middle of oven, until golden brown, 20-22 min.
While sweet potatoes roast, roughly chop parsley. Strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl). Peel, then finely chop shallot. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Pat turkey dry with paper towels, then cut large strips in half. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with half the thyme.
Stir together mayo and mustard in a small bowl. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shallot. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 3-4 min. Remove pan from heat then transfer shallots to a medium bowl. Stir in cherry jam. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-6 min.** Sprinkle over half the parsley. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook turkey in 2 batches for 4 ppl.)
Stir together garlic, remaining thyme, remaining parsley and 2 tbsp room temperature butter (dbl for 4 ppl) in another small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Halve buns, then arrange on another baking sheet, cut-sides up. Spread garlic-herb butter on cut-sides. Toast in top of oven, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on your buns so they don't burn!)
Spread cherry sauce on top buns. Spread half the zesty mayo on bottom buns, then top with turkey and spring mix. Top with top buns. Halve sandwiches. Serve with sweet potatoes and remaining zesty mayo alongside, for dipping.
