Ingredients

1 12-ounce package frozen veggie tots
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small white onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice or ground cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 soft hamburger buns, lightly toasted
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425˚. Spread the tots on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/4 cup white onion; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the turkey, chili powder, pie spice, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until the turkey is well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup water; stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the turkey is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
Divide the turkey mixture among the bun bottoms. Sprinkle with the cheese, reserved chopped onion and the bun tops. Serve with the veggie tots.
