Ingredients

  • 1 package Bacon (12 ounces)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes rinsed, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 2 cups finely chopped spinach
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
  • 4 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 pounds ground turkey (our turkey packages were actually 19.2 ounces each so a little over two pounds)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the bacon over a hot griddle until it is crispy. Put it on plate covered with paper towels to soak up the extra fat. Once the bacon is cool, crumble it into small pieces.
  2. While the bacon is cooking, use your food processor to finely chop/dice the sweet potatoes, onion and spinach. You want small, tiny pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the bacon, sweet potato, onion and spinach. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the ground turkey and mix until all of the spices and ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Form the mixture into 12-14 patties. 
  5. Grill them on a hot frying pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cook them for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip them. Allow them to cook until they are no longer pink inside.

Notes

  • The packages of ground turkey that I used were 19.2 ounces each, which means I used closer to 2 1/2 pounds of ground turkey.
