Ingredients:
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
  • 1 lb. ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground pepper
  • 1 tsp. All purpose seasoning
  • 1 lb. uncured turkey bacon (Applegate Farms), cooked
  • Quick Guacamole - 1 avocado, juice from 1/2 lime, 1/2 tsp. sea salt, 1 tsp. cumin, 1/4 tsp. chili powder, 1/4 tsp. pepper
  Instructions:
  • For the Sweet Potatoes:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and then wash and peel potatoes. Cut into fairly thick (1/4 or so) slices trying to make them as close to the same size as possible. Place into a bowl and add in melted coconut oil. Toss with the oil, sea salt and pinch of pepper. Lay out evenly onto a baking sheet. Cook potatoes, flipping once for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and slightly crisped. Set aside
  • For the Burgers:
  • Mix turkey and seasonings in a medium bowl. Form into palm size patties. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium. Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes per side or until they've reached your desired doneness.
  • Assemble your burgers:
  • Layer a sweet potato with a burger patty, top with a slice of turkey bacon cut in half, then a spoonful of quick Guacamole and top it off with a second potato slice. Serve and enjoy!
