Staying fit?

Our home is under construction. Well, the way we eat is. Some days are more yummy than others, and once again, I see that you can't please everyone!

We had this last week and enjoyed it so much we are having it again.

You can find it here and more "clean" recipes that are yummy…

Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Chips




Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Chips Ready in 30 minutes • Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Non-stick olive oil spray
  • 1 medium sweet potato, sliced thinly (1/8″ thick slices)
  • Sea salt, to taste (optional)
  • 8 oz lean ground turkey
  • ¼ cup salsa, divided
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 2 Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 2 whole-grain, thin burger buns, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray. Spread sweet potato slices on baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through, stirring once halfway through.
  2. Meanwhile, lightly spray a large saute pan with olive oil spray. Mix ground turkey with 2 tablespoons of salsa, divide in half and form each half into a patty. Cook patties over medium-high heat until lightly browned on one side (approximately 4 minutes). Flip burgers over and continue cooking until done, approximately 3 more minutes.
  3. On half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf and 2 tomato slices; place burgers on the opposite bun and top with remaining salsa (1 tablespoon each). Place lettuce and tomato side on top of burger and salsa and serve immediately with the sweet potato chips.

Wondering what a yam is vs a sweet potato? Check out the Globe and Mail. Still need to be sure? Check out about.com, this one has pictures to make it clear at mikes daily apple.

So, there are some discrepancies. The above therefore would be yam chips, not  sweet potato chips, correct? However, both are yummy. When you've mastered how to make them perfect would you be willing to share? Just send me a comment at the bottom. ;)

And funny fact: 

My kids were whining that they had to try something new, how they hated it, it was yucky. But then something fantastic happened! They tried it and with a mouthful of burger said, "Actually, these are good." Ha! Mommy's everywhere can rejoice. Whoop whoop! :)
