Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1¼ lb ground turkey
- 2 lb sweet potatoes
- 4 count hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese
- 1 head green leaf lettuce
- 1 count tomato
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 3/4 tsp salt
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges, toss with 2 tbsp oil, the paprika, and 1 tsp salt, and spread on a sheet pan.
- Roast the wedges 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and browned at the edges.
- Meanwhile, gently mix the turkey with the Worcestershire, garlic powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties and press a small dent in the center of each.
- Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties 5-6 minutes per side until 165°F. Top with cheese for the last minute and cover to melt.
- Toast the buns and build the burgers with lettuce and tomato. Serve with the wedges and ketchup for dipping.
- Picky eater tip: let them have a plain patty, a bun and plain sweet potato wedges, with toppings on the side.
- Make ahead: shape the patties up to a day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, and cut the sweet potatoes and store them in water in the fridge.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
