This recipe got my attention at the word, bacon! Seeing the word sweet potato didn’t hurt either. This was, hands down, the best damn burger I have ever made! If you don’t make these, you are missing out!

I found this beauty on The Foodie & Family Blog.

The recipe calls for 2 pounds of turkey. Well I only had 1 pound of turkey…so I just used a pound of beef with it…so my burgers were Turkey/Beef burgers;) Also the recipe indicates it makes 8 burgers, but I was able to get 11 nice sized patties out of it.

Here it is:

Bacon & Sweet Potato Turkey Burgers

Makes 8

Ingredients

2 pounds ground turkey

1/2 pound bacon

1 cup shredded sweet potato

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a large frying pan, cook bacon until almost crisp. Remove bacon and chop into pieces (when cooled).

In a large bowl, combine bacon with turkey, sweet potato, onion, egg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Form into 8 patties.

Cook in bacon fat (or coconut oil) for 7 minutes per side; or until cooked through. Serve on a bed of lettuce.
