I love this meal! It reminds me of summer, but we make it year round! All of my kids love it too, which is a huge plus!
I served the turkey burgers and fries alongside Greek Salad and fruit.
Here’s how I made it.
I prepared the Sweet Potato Fries first so they could be cooking while I made the burgers.
Sweet Potato Fries
(you can also make this same recipe with any kind of potatoes!)
- 3 sweet potatoes or yams; peeled and cut into fries
- 1/4 C. Olive Oil
- Seasoning Salt (to taste)
Prepare the sweet potatoes.
Peel them…
Slice them!
Cut them into fries!
Put the olive oil and seasoned salt into a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
Add the sweet potatoes, zip the bag closed and mix everything together!
Place a crumpled sheet of foil on a baking sheet and spray it well with cooking spray. Arrange fries in a single layer on the baking sheet.
I probably should have split these onto two baking sheets….but I didn’t!
Bake at 425 degrees for 45-60 minutes; turning once during baking.
If my fries aren’t “crispy” enough, I then place them under the broiler for 5-10 minutes until crisp! They are much better if they are a little bit crispy!
That’s it!

K….while the fries were cooking, I threw together the Turkey Burgers. Here’s how I did that….
Turkey Burgers
(I also make this same recipe with lean ground beef and it’s awesome!)
- 1/2 C. Cheddar cheese; shredded
- 1 T. Parmesan cheese; grated
- 1/2 large onion; chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 T. ketchup
- 1 T. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- dash pepper
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (or beef!)
Mix the Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
Add the ground turkey and mix everything well using your hands!
Form mixture into 6-7 patties and place on grill. I love these on the outside BBQ grill, but we did them on the indoor “wannabe” grill tonight. 😉
Cook for 5-7 minutes each side until cooked through.
This picture is not the yummiest. I had some issues with the burgers sticking to the “grill.” These are so good though!

My kids had these just like regular hamburgers; on buns with mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickles and lettuce. They all loved them and everyone finished their dinner! Wa hoo! I chose to have mine without a bun topped with low sugar ketchup, mustard and pickles.
I threw together a quick Greek salad (Spring Mix lettuce, olives, grape tomatoes, red peppers, cucumber and feta!) I topped it with a little Newman’s Own Balsamic Vinigarette. Yum!
I also chopped up some fresh fruit to have on the side (Strawberries, Raspberries, Kiwi and bananas!)
We all loved this meal. It is a little bit time consuming….but so worth it!
Enjoy!
Okay, YUM! I am coming over for dinner the next time you make this! LOL!
You are welcome any time!! This really is one of my favorite meals! 🙂
