Diabetes-Friendly Turkey Burgers with Garlic Sweet Potato Fries
Serves: 6

Ingredients:

Burger
1.5 lbs ground turkey
1 cup portabella mushrooms
1 egg
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons almond meal
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Coconut oil
12 slices sprouted grain bread, sourdough or pumpkernickel
1 cup shredded mozarella cheese
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 bag fresh spinach
salt and pepper, to taste

Sweet Potato Fries
2 large red or orange kumara sweet potatoes
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Burgers:
1. Using a food processor or blender, blitz the mushrooms and the garlic until roughly to semi-finely chopped.

2. Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add the mushroom/garlic mix, plus the cumin, basil, tapioca flour, almond meal, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well. Add the ground turkey, salt and pepper, to taste, and mix well with the ingredients until fully blended.

3. Shape the turkey into 6 evenly-sized patties. Set aside.

4. Heat a large fry pan on medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, melt, and spread evenly across the pan. Toast 2 bread slices at a time, 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat, using 1 teaspoon of coconut oil per 2 slices. Set toasted bread aside.

5. Continue heating the fry pan on medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and place 2 turkey patties onto the pan. Use a thick metal spatula to gently but firmly flatten the patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side.

6. Upon flipping each pattie, add a pinch of mozarella to the top of each pattie. Repeat, cooking the remaining patties, using 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil per 2 patties.

7. Layer each burger with a slice of toasted bread, spinach, turkey pattie, tomato slice, a red onion slice, and any condiments you like. (NOTE FOR DIABETICS: Be aware that most store-bought ketchups and mustards contain high amounts of sugar) Top off the burger with another slice of toasted bread.

Garlic Sweet Potato Fries
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C)

2. Cut sweet potatoes into thin sticks.

3. In a medium to large bowl, add the potatoes, olive oil, paprika, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well, until potatoes are thoroughly coated.

4. Place the potatoes on an oven-safe baking dish or lined baking tray.

5. Bake in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes, tossing halfway through, and bake until golden brown.
