Sweet Potato and Bacon Turkey Burgers

Everything is better with bacon and these Sweet Potato and Bacon Turkey Burgers are no exception. The sweet potatoes add moisture to the patties and also provide bulk to the patties while still keeping the calorie and fat content low. The turkey bacon adds a depth of flavor and texture that takes these burgers to the next level.

With so much flavor in the patties, you don’t need a lot of extra condiments or toppings. I like to serve on a whole grain sandwich thin with some micro greens and just a drizzle of pure maple syrup to stick with the flavors of fall theme.

Sweet Potato and Bacon Turkey Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 cup ground, lean turkey
• 1 cup finely shredded sweet potato
• 6 strips turkey bacon
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

Precook the turkey bacon and microwave the shredded sweet potato until slightly tender, but not mushy.

Combine the ground turkey, cooked and chopped bacon, sweet potato, and seasonings into six patties.

Cook on the grill, frying pan, or griddle until cooked through. You can also bake these in a muffin tin in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, making sure the bottoms do not burn.

To serve, place on a bun and top with your favorite condiments. I suggest a drizzle of maple syrup or a chipotle mayo.

If you are following the 21 Day Fix program, per patty, serving: 1 Red, 1/4 Yellow

(Tip for 21 Day Fixers: I like to cut off 1/4 of my Sandwich Thin bun (I cut around the edges since it’s bigger than my patty, anyway.) that I’m using so that my total yellow count for my assembled burgers equals one yellow for easy tracking purposes.)
