Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the burger meat:
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil I use olive
- 1 lb lean ground turkey meat *or ground meat of choice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
For the dressing
- 3 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or additional yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice from the jar!
- 3 teaspoon apple cider vinegar *see substitutions below
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- salt and black pepper to taste
For the french fries
- 2 medium yellow potatoes
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon desired spices
For the salad
- 4 cups romaine lettuce thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
- 1 cup pickles sliced
- 1 cup (about ½ of one large) red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground turkey meat and spices. Cook until browned and fully cooked through. Set aside.
- Prepare your dressing by combining all dressing ingredients in a small mason jar or bowl and whisking well. Set aside.
- To prepare your fries- Slice your potatoes into wedges and add them to a large mixing bowl. Add your oil and spices and toss to coat. Once the potatoes are fully coated, place them in your air fryer basket and bake for about 15 minutes at 400°F, shaking the basket halfway.
- To prepare your salad- in a large bowl add vegetables, cheese, turkey meat, and fries. Drizzle with your dressing and toss to combine.
Notes
*Note -you are able to use your favourite hamburger or veggie burger recipe as the protein, omitting the burger meat instructions above!
*As mentioned in the text above, I personally like adding in some canned lentils with my ground meat to add some more plant based protein and fibre! If you would like to add them, just mix in about 1 cup of lentils right into the pan once the ground meat is cooked and smashing them with the back of a spatula!
*If you do not have apple cider vinegar, white vinegar will work!
