Ingredients
- 3-4 medium Sweet Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil Avocado, Coconut or Olive
- 1.5 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 Apple
- 1 Orange
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1 tsp Honey
- 2 lb ground Turkey
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp dried Sage or 1 tbsp fresh
- 1/4 cup fresh Parsley
- 1/2 cup Tapioca, Arrowroot, or Coconut Flour
Instructions
First, start with the Sweet Potato Wedges:
- Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel potatoes, cut into thirds lengthwise, and then cut each half into 3 pieces. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and then drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Toss to coat. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Core and roughly chop the apple (no need to peel it). Place it in a food processor with the juice and zest of the orange, the raisins, honey, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Pulse 10 times or until the ingredients are roughly the same size. *If you don't have a food processor, finely dice the apples with a knife and mix with the rest of the ingredients.Set aside.
Now make the Turkey Burgers:
- Mix the turkey, onion powder, dried sage, parsley, and 1/2 tsp sea salt together in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and then shape into patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of cooking oil to the skillet.
- Add 1/2 cup Tapioca Powder (or Arrowroot Starch or Coconut Flour) to a shallow dish, and then place each patty into the tapioca powder to coat. Shake off any excess and then add to the skillet. (You’ll most likely have to do this in several batches)
- Cook 5 minutes a side or until turkey is no longer pink in the middle (165 F)
To assemble the bowls:
- Place a large handful of arugula or other leafy green on each plate, then add a patty and top with a large dollop of the relish. Add several sweet potato wedges and serve!Alternatively you can add a handful of mixed greens tossed with a dash of balsamic vinegar and olive oil instead of the arugula.
