Here's everything you love about a delicious burger and fries—but healthier, featuring a ground turkey patty and fries that are made out of butternut squash. The turkey patties are flavored with scallions, barbecue sauce, and a pinch of salt, which are then roasted in the oven, then topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a tangy mayo sauce. This recipe is designed to serve one, but you can easily scale it up if you're roasting burgers for a crowd. Also, be sure to use the long neck of the squash to cut the fries—the shorter bulb will not yield fry-like sticks.

Ingredients

4 sprays cooking spray
4 oz uncooked 99% fat-free ground turkey breast
2½ tbsp uncooked scallions, chopped, divided
2 tsp barbecue sauce, divided
1 pinch table salt
1 pinch black pepper
8 oz uncooked butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch-thick sticks
½ tbsp mayonnaise
1 plain hamburger bun, toasted
1 lettuce leaf, large
2 slices fresh tomatoes
4 slices Kosher dill pickle sandwich slices

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a small baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine turkey, 2 Tbsp scallion, 1 tsp barbecue sauce and pinch salt; form into 1/2-inch-thick patty and place on one side of prepared pan. Put squash on other side of pan and coat squash and burger with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast turning once, until fries are golden and burger is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 Tbsp scallion, remaining 1 tsp barbecue sauce and mayonnaise in a small cup.
To serve, layer lettuce, tomato, burger, mayonnaise mixture and pickles on roll; serve with squash fries.
