Southwestern Turkey Patties
over avocado and sweet potato salad
This recipe was first featured in the spring of 2016, and it's a great way to kick off grilling season. The turkey burger patties are full of flavor and will be as good if you cook them on the stovetop as they are on the grill.

Make
-
Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.
-
Line a sheet pan with foil. Toss potato cubes with cooking oil and then season with cumin (portion for salad) and some salt and pepper. Spread on sheet pan and bake, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (larger cubes will take longer to cook).
-
If making patties on the grill: Heat grill to 500F / 260C degrees. Brush grill grates with some oil and then place patties over direct heat. Grill on opposite sides for ~4 minutes each with cover closed and continue cooking until burgers reach an internal temperature of 165F / 74C degrees.
-
If making patties on stovetop: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with some oil and then place patties on heated oil. Cook burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 165F / 74C degrees, ~5 minutes on each side.
-
Drain vinegar off onions and rinse under cool water. Toss greens with sweet potatoes, avocados, and onions.

Serve patties over salad and top everything with vinaigrette. Enjoy!
