Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Spatula
  • Skillet
  • Cast-Iron Skillet
  • Oven Tray
  • Paring Knife
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Sweet Potato
  • 1/3 cup Chopped Yellow Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 1.5 pound Ground Turkey Leg
  • 2 teaspoons Chopped Sage
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 nos. Brioche Rolls
  • 4 teaspoons Cranberry Mayo
  • 4 nos. Spinach Leaves

Instructions
 

  • Poke the sweet potato with a fork and bake it in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
  • Once the potato is fully baked, slit it open and let it cool for 10 minutes. Remove the flesh from inside and keep it aside.
  • Melt butter in a skillet and add chopped yellow onion, minced garlic and cook them for 5-10 minutes, until they are soft.
  • In a bowl, mix the ground turkey, sweet potato and sage and add in the cooked onions, once they are a little cool.
  • Once everything is thoroughly mixed, make four patties out of the mixture.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet with oil for a few minutes and then add in the burger patties.
  • Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the patties and let them cook for 5 minutes on each side. Once you insert a meat thermometer in the center, the temperature should be between 145-165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the patties reach this temperature, take them off the flame and keep aside.

Assembling The Burgers

  • Split the brioche buns from the centre and toast them slightly in the cast iron skillet.
  • Once toasted, spread some cranberry mayo on the base on the bun.
  • Top this with some fresh spinach leaves and the patty. Top it with some American cheese for added flavor and serve!
