Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Meat I use ground turkey
- 1 Cup Feta
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 2 Cups Rice cooked
- 1 Cup Tomatoes chopped
- 1 Cup Cucumbers chopped
- 1/2 Red Onion chopped
- 1/2 Cup Pickles chopped
- 1 Avocado
- 4-6 Potatoes
- Greens
- Dressing of Choice
- Cheese I used feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Wash the potatoes and microwave them for about 5 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly. Place the potatoes on a lined baking sheet, then use the bottom of a glass or a fork to gently smash each one. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated, then form the mixture into small burger patties.
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat, then cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the potatoes roast and the patties cook, chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, pickles, and avocado. These fresh ingredients add texture and flavor balance to the dish.
- Start with a base of greens and cooked rice, then add the crispy smashed potatoes and turkey burger patties. Top with chopped veggies, avocado slices, and crumbled feta. Drizzle with your favorite dressing and enjoy!
