Turkey burgers are an easy meal prep staple that I tend to forget about, but they never let me down! We love them here and they\u2019re great because they really adapt easily to any flavors you want to put with them.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIf you have not made turkey burgers before, they\u2019re easy. They tend to have less fat in them than regular beef burgers (depending on what kind of ground beef you buy, of course) but they are so flavorful nonetheless.<\/p>\n
How to adapt this recipe<\/h2>\nAs always, this recipe is VERY easy to change up based on your preferences and what\u2019s in your spice cabinet<\/p>\n
\n- If you hate onions, don\u2019t use \u2019em! It will still be tasty.<\/li>\n
- You can pair this with a salad or really anything you want on the side; pickled veggies would be fun.<\/li>\n
- You can throw in other ingredients to make them your own.<\/li>\n
- If you don\u2019t have some of these spices, I bet they\u2019d still taste good!<\/li>\n
- You can use a real bun instead of lettuce.<\/li>\n
- Use whatever sauce or toppings you want; hot sauce is fun if you like a little heat<\/li>\n
- You can turn these into meatballs instead of patties, pan fry them (or bake them) and eat them with pasta!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How do you make the fries like that?<\/h2>\nThis is the eternal question I get when I make this dish! The secret is using a little oil (too much makes them soggy), and then flipping them halfway. You also need to make sure that they aren\u2019t touching in the pan. I spent a good three minutes arranging them on the pan. It\u2019s so important with potatoes that they don\u2019t get too close to each other. Otherwise, they will just STEAM and that means they do not get crispy.<\/p>\n
Also note for this recipe I happened to pick up a WHITE<\/strong> sweet potato. Still a sweet potato, just a different color. You can use whatever potato you want but some are better for roasting than others. This would be awesome with russet, Yukon gold or red potatoes, too. If you want to get real fancy, you could pair this with zucchini or carrot fries! <\/p>\nHere\u2019s a video to show you how I assembled these turkey burgers:<\/h2>\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bb0GUbaAms9\/?taken-by=workweeklunch\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
How to Store and Serve these Turkey Burgers<\/h2>\nNote that these meals will last for up to four days in the fridge in your sealed meal prep containers<\/a> of choice!<\/p>\nYou can freeze extra turkey burger patties to make in the future for up to three months. Make sure to thaw them out in the fridge the day before cooking! We like doubling up recipes like this. The freezer is your friend. (We love freezer meal preps<\/a>, too!)<\/p>\nThis meal reheats well in the microwave or you can reheat turkey burgers on the stove for a few minutes.<\/strong> If you opt for the stove, they do tend to get a little more crispy if the pan is hot. You can also reheat them gently in the oven if they\u2019re loosely wrapped in foil. Try them at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\nTo reheat this meal, I simply took the veggies out and reheated the burgers and fries for a minute or two, then added the veggies back. Yes, the fries got soft because of the raw veggies next to them. If that\u2019s something you don\u2019t want to happen, don\u2019t add the veggies until right before you eat (just pre-chop them and put them in a container in the fridge).<\/p>\n
You can also pop these fries into the air fryer to reheat them but do so at a lower temperature than what you\u2019d roast them at\u2014anywhere around 350 to 375 would be good\u2014and just for a few minutes. Sometimes, if I have leftover homemade fries I simply pop them into a cast iron skillet with a dab of olive oil and crisp them up that way. It depends on how I am feeling!<\/p>\n
