Ingredients
- 1½ lb ground turkey
- 1¼ lb sweet potatoes
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup cranberry sauce (jellied)
- 4 buns burger buns
- ½ count onion
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Peel sweet potatoes, cut into 0.25-inch-thick wedges, toss with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper, spread on a sheet pan, and roast at 425°F for 20 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway.
- While wedges roast, finely dice onion, mix with ground turkey, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and form into 4 equal patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook burgers 5–6 minutes per side until no pink remains and internal temp reaches 165°F; meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise with cranberry sauce in a small bowl.
- Toast burger buns lightly, spread with cranberry aioli, top each with a burger patty, and serve with roasted sweet potato wedges on the side.
- Picky eater tip: serve a plain patty on a bun with no aioli, with the sweet potato wedges on the side.
- Make ahead: mix and shape the patties and whisk the aioli up to a day ahead; cover and refrigerate.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
