  • 1 cup spinach, packed
  • 1 cup arugula, packed
  • 1/2 cup basil, packed
  • 1/4 cup tarragon, destemmed
  • 1/3 cup green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons almond meal or almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
• For the Turkey Burgers:
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons almond meal or almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Buns of choice, toasted
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Butter lettuce leaves
• For the Sweet Potato Wedges:
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (3–4 medium), washed
  • 1/3 cup almond meal or almond flour
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Instructions

1. Make the green goddess sauce. Add feta, spinach, arugula, basil, tarragon, green onions, garlic, almond meal, almond milk, salt, and olive oil to a food processor. Blend until smooth, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 425°F for the sweet potato wedges.
3. Prepare the sweet potatoes. Slice each potato lengthwise, then cut into evenly sized wedges about 1/2 inch thick. In a small bowl, mix almond meal, parmesan, salt, and garlic powder.
4. Season and bake wedges. Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then coat with the dry mixture. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet brushed with remaining oil. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden and crisp.
5. Mix and form burgers. In a bowl, combine ground turkey, onion, garlic, almond meal, Dijon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 4 patties slightly larger than the buns.
6. Cook the burgers. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7. Assemble the burgers. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add the turkey patty, then top with green goddess sauce, sliced onion, avocado, and lettuce. Spread more sauce on the top bun and close.
8. Serve. Plate burgers alongside the sweet potato wedges and serve immediately.
