Sweet Potato Ground Chicken Burgers
adapted from Dashing Dish
Ingredients:
- 1 package (about 1.25 lbs) Ground chicken or Lean ground turkey (Ground chicken is much more moist which allowed the burgers to stick together better)
- 1 Medium sweet potato (*see below for simple directions for steaming your sweet potato)
- 1 cup Chopped fresh spinach
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 TBS coconut aminos
- Whole grain buns (or lettuce wraps) for serving
*Simple directions to cook sweet potato: Peel and cut off ends. Cube into 1/2in cubes. Place in a pot and cover with water. Bring water to boil and continue to boil until you can easily pierce with a fork. You want the potatoes tender, not mushy. 8-12 minutes depending on the size of your sweet potato.
Instructions:
- Precook the sweet potato using method above. Mash with a potato masher. Let cool.
- Combine the ground chicken, cooled sweet potato, spinach, coconut aminos and seasonings into a large bowl.
- Turn on your pans. Lightly coat with a non stick spray or coconut oil if needed.
- Form into patties. I can usually make enough for 8 patties.
- Cook about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve with a whole grain bun, lettuce wrapped, or bun-less with a side of roasted Brussels Sprouts and/or your favorite salad.
Enjoy!
