Turkey and Sweet Potato Burgers


I had found this recipe on Pintrest last year but unfortunately the blog it was in went off line. I've recreated the recipe from memory here. This is a kid favorite. They gobble the burgers up soooo quickly!

Ingredients


  • 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 1 C shredded sweet potato
  • 6 strips of turkey bacon chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Cook the bacon in a pan using some vegetable oils spray. Set aside.
  3. Put the shredded sweet potato in the microwave for 1 minute to soften it.
  4. One the bacon and the potatoes have cooled down a little mix them with the ground turkey, salt and pepper. 
  5. Make 4 patties and place them on a baking tray in the oven for 25 minutes flipping them over midway through.
I serve these on a bun and grill some zucchini as a side.

Vegetarian Three Bean Chili

This recipe is a modified version of a regular chili recipe. My sister-in-law was coming over to watch the kids and I wanted to make something that would fit her dietary needs since she is vegetarian. Also I had to dial down the heat in the recipe because the kids were going to eat it as well. Now this has become one of the kids' favorite recipes and my vegetarian friends seem to enjoy it as well. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion, diced 12 oz veggie protein crumbles or tofu (I like to use Lightlife Smart Ground Original Crumbles) 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons chili powder 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 (14 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper 2 cups vegetable broth 1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans (rinsed) 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (rinsed) 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (rinsed) Toppings: shredd
