Sweet Potato Ground Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 lbs Ground turkey breast (or extra lean ground beef)
• 1 small (about 3 oz) Sweet potato
• 1/2 cup Chopped frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry or 1 cup fresh)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Onion powder

Directions

1. Precook the sweet potato until just tender, but not mushy (I microwaved mine for 4 minutes, but you could also bake it for 30 minutes or so in a 375-degree oven.)
2. Remove the peel, and break up the sweet potato with knife or fingers, into very small pieces. Combine the ground turkey, sweet potato, spinach, and seasonings into a large bowl, and form into four patties.
3. Cook on the grill, pan, or griddle over medium high heat, for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked through. (You can also bake these in a muffin tin in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temp of 165 degrees or more.)
4. Serve, place on a bun or lettuce wrap and top with your favorite toppings and condiments
