Turkey Burgers & Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients


Fries

  • 1 medium sweet potato (12 oz.), peeled
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Burgers

  • 225g lean ground turkey
  • ¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 2 slices red onion
  • 2 thick slices tomato
  • ½ avocado
  • 4-6 large, soft lettuce leaves

Directions


  1. To prepare fries: Preheat oven to 220 degrees C.
  2. Slice sweet potato into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1/8 tsp. salt. Bake, flipping halfway through, until tender and crisp-edged, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare burgers: Using your hands, mix turkey, Cheddar, Worcestershire, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl. Shape into two 4-inch patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Brush oil over a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet; set it over medium heat for 2 minutes. (Alternatively, to grill, see Tip.) Add the patties and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Cover the pan and continue to cook until the patties are lightly browned but still juicy (the juices should run clear, not pink).
  5. To assemble the burgers, top each patty with a slice of onion and tomato, and half the avocado slices. Carefully wrap each one in 2 to 3 lettuce leaves, wrapping as tightly as you can. Serve with the sweet potato fries.
