Sweet Potato Turkey Burgers
Servings 6 burgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 handful fresh spinach chopped or ripped into pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 6 slices muenster cheese
- 6 onion hamburger buns
Instructions
- Poke sweet potato with a fork in multiple places. Cook sweet potato in microwave for 5-8 minutes, until fork easily pierces through skin. Allow sweet potato to cool for 3-4 minutes.
- Cut into potato skin and use a fork or spoon to get the cooked sweet potato out of the skin. Place into medium size bowl and combine with remaining ingredients.
- Form 6 patties that are roughly the same diameter as your hamburger buns. Patties should be about an inch thick. Place onto a plate.
- Heat grill pan, skillet or grill to medium heat. Cook turkey patties for 3-4 minutes on each side (adding a slice of cheese on each patty for last minute) , until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Serve on onion bun and add desired condiments!
Notes
Nutritional information includes a bun and slice of muenster cheese (as pictured)
Let the cooked sweet potato cool before mixing it with the turkey.
Mix the ingredients just until combined so the burgers stay tender and juicy.
Shape the patties evenly so they cook at the same rate.
