Turkey Sliders with Sweet Potato Fries - Five Star!

What you'll need:

1lb ground turkey
Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
1 3.5oz box mushrooms
1 Medium Purple Onion
2 Sweet Potatoes
Best Foods Olive Oil Mayonnaise
Hamburger fixins'

Make it Happen

Chop up 1 box mushrooms (3.5oz) and 1 medium purple onion. Caramelize in olive oil & 1/2 tbsp butter (for flavor).

Mix caramelized mushrooms and onions with 1lb of ground turkey. Round the meat into 6 burgers, I like to make them thick because ground turkey tends to dry out easily. The caramelized onions and mushrooms add ridiculous flavor to an otherwise flavorless burger meat. I've had them both grilled on the BBQ and cooked on the stove. In both cases they were juicy and flavorful!

Whole Wheat hamburger buns. If you can find low carb, good for you/even better, but most hamburger buns tend to be too large for these burgers anyway, so my solution...I took a large biscuit cutter and trimmed off about 1/3 of the bun, making them the perfect size to fit my burgers. I'd rather save the carbs for the sweet potato fries!

I top my burger off with lettuce, tomato and 1 tablespoon Olive Oil mayo mixed with some ketchup and pickle relish. I HIGHLY recommend the Best Foods Olive Oil mayo to anyone who likes mayo on their sandwiches and burgers. Half the calories of regular mayonnaise. You can't tell the difference in flavor at all. Unlike light mayo which tastes obviously light...and by that I mean bad...the Best Foods Olive Oil mayo is delish and it's a MUFA. Give it a try. It's awesome, that means Colleen approved :)

Not too shabby. I added 2oz of sweet potato fries which bumped the calories up to 300, carbs up to 26, still within my ratios and it was worth it. Overall a healthy delicious backyard BBQ meal.

Now I'm hungry. Time to cook!
