Turkey burger with shoestring sweet potatoes

Name: Turkey burger with shoestring sweet potatoes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 3
Ingredients: 300 g (10½ oz) ground turkey; 1 grated onion (60 g / 2 oz); 2 cloves garlic, minced (6 g); chopped parsley, to taste; 1 egg (50 g / 1¾ oz); 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into thin sticks (360 g / 12½ oz); 1½ tbsp olive oil (15 g / ½ oz); lettuce, tomato and red onion, to taste (150 g / 5½ oz); salt and pepper, to taste

Homemade, leaner than the fast-food version and every bit as flavorful.

Rico's note: Make a bigger batch of burgers and freeze them raw, between sheets of parchment paper, so you can take out one at a time when you need it.
