Number Of Ingredients 17

2 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 lime
1 1/3 lbs ground turkey, lean
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, diced and drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
light cooking spray
4 slices 50% -reduced-fat monterey jack pepper cheese
4 whole-wheat kaiser rolls
romaine lettuce leaf
tomatoes, sliced
red onion, sliced
1/2 avocado, sliced

Steps:

  • For the sweet potato fries, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes
  • With the skin on, slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; cut the rounds into 1/2-inch-thick finger-shaped pieces.
  • Toss the potatoes in a bowl with the oil, chili powder, garlic powder and salt.
  • On a baking sheet, spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer and roast, stirring every 10 minutes, until brown and tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter or bowl and sprinkle with a little more salt.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the lean ground turkey with the diced chiles and season with salt and pepper.
  • Shape into patties and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Heat a large grill pan or nonstick skillet on medium heat and spritz with canola oil.
  • Add the turkey patties to the grill pan and cook until browned on one side, about 4 minutes.
  • Flip, reduce the heat to low, cover (if using a skillet) and cook until the juices run pale pink, about 4 more minutes.
  • Top with the reduced-fat pepper-jack cheese during the last minute.
  • Toast the rolls in the oven or in a toaster oven. Alternatively, grill them 1 minute on each side.
  • To assemble: On a platter, place the fries and a burger on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, onion and avocado slices. Squeeze lime juice over the fries and serve.

SOUTHWESTERN SPICED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH CHILI-CILANTRO SOURCREAM



Southwestern Spiced Sweet Potato Fries with Chili-Cilantro SourCream image

When I make these I always double the batch, because they are gobbled up faster than you can say "Southwestern Spiced Sweet Potato Fries." The heat and spice of cumin, chile powder and paprika complement the natural sweetness of the potatoes. I don't peel the sweet potatoes, because the skin adds extra texture and nutrients. The Chili-Cilantro Sour Cream is cooling and fresh, balancing out the kick of the spice and the earthiness of the potatoes.
