Skillet Turkey Burgers with Avocado & Honey Mustard and Sweet Potato Fries

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

“Damn good.” -Z

Fact: Burgers are one of my favorite foods! These skillet turkey burgers are juicy, easy enough for a weekday dinner, and so flavorful.

Some sweet potato fries just felt right to complete the meal. Have it on a bun, bunless, or open-faced. Have half portion sweet potato fries and a side salad or full portion of sweet potato fries. Modify to your needs and wants! You do you.

Nutrition Info:

  1. Did you know avocados are 77% fat? They are high in monounsaturated fat, specifically oleic acid. Oleic acid is also found in olive oil and has been associated with reduced inflammation and even positive effects on genes related to cancer. Avocados also have the potential to help lower triglyceride and total cholesterol levels.
  2. “Sweet potatoes are healthier than white potatoes, right?” Per 100g: Sweet potatoes have 86 calories, 3g fiber, and 20g carbohydrates, and white potatoes have 77 calories, 2g fiber, and 17g carbohydrates. The difference is really in the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) — Sweet potatoes have more vitamin E and vitamin A (hence the orange color!), these are antioxidants that help make your cells stronger. White potatoes have more vitamin C, potassium, folate, and iron. My take on it? Choose which sounds better to you and vary your vegetables throughout the day and week. #Balance
