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 a 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.
Meal Items
  • 4 sprays of 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 kosher dill pickle sandwich slices

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