Turkey Burgers With Sweet Potato Chips Recipes

CHIPOTLE SWEET POTATO TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the ground turkey, garlic, chipotle chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Lightly mix with your fingers, just until combined. Fold in the grated sweet potato and cilantro. Form the mixture into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick (4 to 6 patties total).
• Meanwhile, generously drizzle a cast iron pan or other large, non-stick skillet with olive oil and heat over medium. Once hot, place the patties on the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, flip then cook 1 additional minute. With a cover for the skillet ready in one hand, pour a little water into the skillet, then cover it quickly, being careful as the oil will sputter. Let the burgers cook steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Towards the end of the cooking time, top with grated cheddar cheese, then recover and allow the cheese to melt.
• Serve the burgers on toasted whole wheat buns, topped with sliced avocado, salsa, and sour cream as desired. Enjoy immediately.

SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY BURGERS WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• For the sweet potato fries, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Wash and dry the potatoes
• With the skin on, slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; cut the rounds into 1/2-inch-thick finger-shaped pieces.
• Toss the potatoes in a bowl with the oil, chili powder, garlic powder and salt.
• On a baking sheet, spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer and roast, stirring every 10 minutes, until brown and tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter or bowl and sprinkle with a little more salt.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the lean ground turkey with the diced chiles and season with salt and pepper.
• Shape into patties and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Heat a large grill pan or nonstick skillet on medium heat and spritz with canola oil.
• Add the turkey patties to the grill pan and cook until browned on one side, about 4 minutes.
• Flip, reduce the heat to low, cover (if using a skillet) and cook until the juices run pale pink, about 4 more minutes.
• Top with the reduced-fat pepper-jack cheese during the last minute.
• Toast the rolls in the oven or in a toaster oven. Alternatively, grill them 1 minute on each side.
• To assemble: On a platter, place the fries and a burger on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, onion and avocado slices. Squeeze lime juice over the fries and serve.
