Frequently asked questions

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground turkey, plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Don't overmix to keep the burgers tender.
- 2
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and gently form into patties. Make a small ¼-inch indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb - this prevents the burgers from puffing up during cooking.
- 3
Grill the patties for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are cooked through. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them juicy.
- 4
While the burgers cook, preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the frozen sweet potato fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
- 5
Bake the seasoned fries for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through cooking, until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- 6
Place each grilled turkey burger on a slice of toasted bread and top with a lettuce slice. Serve immediately alongside the hot sweet potato fries with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
