Ingredients

For the burger meat:

1 tablespoon cooking oil I use olive
1 lb lean ground turkey meat *or ground meat of choice
1.5 teaspoon paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup cooked brown lentils (I use canned lentils)- optional
1 tbsp low sugar BBQ sauce (optional if using lentils, I recommend adding)!

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 diced
½ tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon desired spices (I recommend using my air fryer diced potatoes)

For the salad

4 cups romaine lettuce thinly sliced
1 cup tomatoes diced
1 cup pickles sliced
1 cup (about ½ of one large) white onion thinly sliced
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

To prepare your fries- Diced potatoes 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.
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. Once the beef is cooked add in the lentils and BBQ sauce (if using) and gently mix in with the ground beef- I recommend lightly mashing the lentils using a spatula to fully combine them. 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 salad- in a large bowl add vegetables, cheese, meat, and fries. Drizzle with your dressing and toss to combine.
