Turkey Burgers With Butternut Squash Fries Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the squash in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and chili powder. Toss the squash until evenly coated, then transfer to the lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake until brown along the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

BAKE-TASTIC BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel squash with a vegetable peeler. Slice the ends off the squash, and then cut it in half width-wise. Cut the round bottom piece in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
• Using a crinkle cutter or a knife, carefully cut squash into spears or French-fry shapes. Thoroughly blot moisture away with paper towels, and sprinkle evenly with salt.
• Spray a broiler pan, a baking rack placed over a baking sheet, or a baking sheet with nonstick spray, and then place spears flat on it.
• Bake in the oven 20 minutes, and then carefully flip spears. Continue to bake until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 20 minutes longer.
• Serve with ketchup for dipping, if using. Enjoy!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH BURGERS

Steps:

• Cut the squash in half where the neck meets the bulbous part. Reserve the bulbous part for another recipe (see tip, below). Trim the stem at the top of the neck, then carefully slice into roughly 1cm discs - you should get about eight, depending on the length. Set aside.
• Combine the chilli, garlic and oil with a pinch each of salt and ground pepper in a small bowl.
• Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen. Brush one side of the squash discs with the chilli and garlic mixture, then season with salt. Cook oiled-side down for 10 mins, closing the barbecue if you can and basting with more of the chilli and garlic mixture every few minutes until the discs begin to soften. Flip over, brush with more of the chilli and garlic mixture, and cook for a further 10-15 mins, continuing to baste as before. Once tender and slightly caramelised, they are ready. Toss the parsley and rocket in the remaining chilli and garlic mixture.
• Serve two squash burgers per bun, also filled with some of the dressed rocket and parsley leaves, a spoonful of mayo and slice of tomato.
