Tai Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Fries

My mother found this recipe a few years ago, and it has totally changed my life. These burgers are so good, it's hard for me to go back to the regular turkey burger. Luckily they're pretty easy, and all of the ingredients I keep on hand.

Grocery List:
1.) 1 lb or so of ground turkey
2.) Peanut butter
3.) Scallions
4.) Cilantro
5.) Bread crumbs
6.) Buns... I prefer sesame.
7.) 1 or 2 Sweet Potatoes
8.) Cumin, if you don't already have it...

Start by washing the potatoes. Cut off the ends, pierce them with a knife, and throw them in the microwave for about 6 minutes. Once they're done, slice them to the size you prefer you fries, spread them out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle them with salt, Lawry's, and cumin, then cook them in the oven at about 350 while you're making the burgers.

For the burgers, you're going to want to put a few spoonfuls of peanut butter in a microwave safe dish, and heat it for about 30 seconds, to a minute... or until it's good and melted. Add 4-6 cut up scallions and a few handfuls of minced cilantro to the bowl, then throw in about 1/2 a cup or so of bread crumbs. Add your meat, and mix well. You should be able to form 5 or 6 good sized burgers from this mixture.

When your burgers are ready to cook, spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray, and then put them in. Cook on med-high heat, and let it brown on one side before turning it over... otherwise, it's going to fall apart.

Once the burgers are done, take out the sweet potatoes, and you're ready to eat. I prefer them on a sesame bun with mayo, red onion, tomato, and lettuce... nomnomnom!!!
