BLT Turkey Burgers

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 30 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

12 oz. bacon

2 tsp. sriracha

5 tbsp. mayonnaise

1 20-ounce package frozen sweet potato fries

1 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1 lb. lean ground turkey

1/4 c. thinly sliced fresh chives

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Black pepper, to taste

4 brioche buns

1 avocado, thinly sliced

1 to 2 beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400˚. Lay the bacon slices in an even layer on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until lightly crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then chop.

In a small bowl, combine the sriracha and 4 tablespoons mayonnaise.

Toss the sweet potato fries with the olive oil and chili powder on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package directions.

Combine the ground turkey, chopped bacon, chives, remaining 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, the salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Form into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the buns cut-side down and toast until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully wipe the pan clean and add the patties to the dry pan. Cook until browned on the bottom, 5 minutes, then flip, loosely cover and cook until the center is no longer pink, 4 to 5 more minutes.

To assemble the burgers, place a piece of lettuce on each bottom bun. Add the turkey burgers, tomato, avocado and a spoonful of the sriracha mayo. Add the top buns and serve with the fries.
