Turkey Burgers with Chili Fries


As you can probably tell by now, Matt and I both enjoy a good burger with some fries. I have been searching for and making many different burger recipes lately in hopes of finding one that is delicious and at the same time, isn't that bad for you. Enter the Turkey Burger with Chili Fries recipe I recently found on recipezaar.com. Juicy and full of flavor, this was an excellent burger and the fries were tasty as well. Matt gives this one a solid 4 out of 5 stars and has given me permission to make it again in the future. I hope that you enjoy this one as much as we did!

Ingredients:
2 large potatoes, cut into thin strips
2 large egg whites
3/4 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb lean ground turkey (I used 97%)
1/2 med red onion, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp ground tarragon (I left this out, didn't have any and couldn't find any at the store)
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 medium high-fiber rolls, 2 oz each

1. Preheat oven to 450. Coat a nonstick baking sheet and a broiler rack with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, egg whites, cumin, salt, chili powder and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to baking sheet.
3. Bake until potatoes are barely tender, about 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, lightly combine turkey, onion, egg, parsley, garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper. Form into 4 burgers.
5. Increase oven temperature to broil. Transfer fries to broiler rack and broil them until crispy, about 10 minutes. At the same time, broil burgers until brown, about 5 minutes per side. (I cooked ours on the grill instead of in the oven and they took about 15-20 minutes to cook on the grill)
6. Place on rolls and serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings, 1 burger and 1/4 of the fries per serving, 9 WW points per serving.
