Recipe Name:Turkey Sweet Potato Burgers
Category:Main Dish
Notes:Dashing Dish
Ingredients:Lean ground turkey (or extra lean ground beef)
1 small (about 3 oz)
Sweet potato
1/2 cup
Chopped frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry or 1 cup fresh)
1 tsp
Salt
1/4 tsp
Pepper
1/2 tsp
Garlic powder
1/2 tsp
Onion powder
Optional:
Whole grain buns or lettuce wraps for serving
Directions: estimated total time to make this recipe is 20-25 minutes.
1
Precook the sweet potato until just tender, but not mushy (I microwaved mine for 4 minutes, but you could also bake it for 30 minutes or so in a 375 degree oven.) Remove the peel, and break up the sweet potato with knife or fingers, into very small pieces.

2
Combine the ground turkey, sweet potato, spinach, and seasonings into a large bowl, and form into four patties.

3
Cook on the grill, pan, or griddle over medium high heat, for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked through. (You can also bake these in a muffin tin in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temp of 165 degrees or more.)

4
To serve, place on a bun or lettuce wrap and top with your favorite toppings and condiments.
