FOR THE SWEET POTATO FRIES

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste once they have finished cooking.

FOR THE TURKEY BURGERS

  • Mince the shallots, cloves of garlic, and Tbsp worth of ginger. Cut the jalapeño into a small dice.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the shallots, garlic, ginger, and jalapeño until the onions have browned. Stir often to prevent burning.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the 2 lbs of ground turkey, shallot/ginger/garlic/jalapeño mixture, fish sauce, soy sauce, olive oil. Using your hands, fold the mixture until everything has been incorporated thoroughly.
  • Form 8 patties about ½ an inch thick.
  • Heat a grill pan or a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the burgers for 5-7 minutes on each side. They are finished when they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F.

FOR THE PEANUT SLAW

  • While the burgers are cooking you can begin to prep the slaw. In a large bowl, mix together red cabbage and shredded carrots.
  • Make the dressing in a blender by combining pb2, rice wine vinegar, a chunk of ginger, garlic, honey, water, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust flavors as necessary. Pour the sauce over the cabbage mix and toss.

PLATING
