Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the French Fries:
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup warm water (for soaking)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 russet potatoes, sliced into wedges or half moons
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Turkey Burgers:
  • 16 oz ground turkey
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 8 romaine lettuce leaves
  • ½ medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 roma or plum tomato, sliced
  • 3 burger buns (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup warm water and 1 tbsp salt. Swish to dissolve.
  3. Add sliced potatoes and more water to cover. Let soak for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Drain potatoes and pat completely dry with a kitchen towel.
  5. In the same bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, 1 tsp salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
  6. Add the dry potatoes and toss to coat evenly with spices and oil.
  7. Spread fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and lightly browned.
  9. While fries bake, prepare the turkey burgers: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, sliced scallions, salt, pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, cumin, and cayenne. Mix well.
  10. Form the mixture into patties.
  11. Heat a skillet over medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Add oil and heat for 1-2 minutes.
  12. Add turkey burger patties to the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  13. Assemble: Place patties on romaine lettuce leaves. Add sliced red onion and tomato. Serve with the potato wedges.
  14. Let cool for 30 minutes before refrigerating.
  15. Store toppings and sauces separately until serving.

Notes

  • You can omit onions if you dislike them.
  • Pickled or caramelized onions are a good alternative.
  • Serve with a salad, rice, or your favorite grain.
  • Add toppings like mushrooms, peppers, bacon, pineapple, guacamole, or a fried egg.
  • Experiment with your favorite spices and sauces.
  • Turn the mixture into meatballs.
  • Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes.
  • Use frozen fries or tater tots for an easier option.
  • For crispier fries, soak them in warm salted water before baking and pat them dry.
  • Air frying is a faster method for fries.
  • Turkey burgers last up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • Freeze uncooked or cooked patties for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Reheat turkey burgers in the microwave, on the stove, or in the oven.
  • Reheat fries in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness; avoid the microwave.
  • Store toppings and sauces separately until serving.
  • For a low-carb option, use romaine or butter lettuce as wraps. Keep them separate until serving.
  • Turkey burgers hold together well without breadcrumbs or eggs. Add oat flour or almond flour for extra binding if desired.
  • Thaw frozen ground turkey overnight in the fridge.
  • Cook turkey burgers until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
