- 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:
- 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.
- Meanwhile, lightly spray a large sauté pan with olive oil spray. Mix ground turkey with 2 tablespoons of salsa, divide in half and form each half into a patty.
