The best Lunch or dinner- PACKED with flavor and protein! Ohhhh and BACON!!! Yum!

RECIPE:

• 12 oz. center cut bacon

• 2 tsp.sriracha

• 5 Tbsp. light mayonnaise

• 1 20-ounce package frozen sweet potato fries

• 1/2 tsp. chili powder

• 1 lb. lean ground turkey

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives

• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

• Black pepper, to taste

• 4 buns

• 1 avocado, thinly sliced

• 1 to 2 beefsteak tomatoes, thinly sliced

1. Preheat the oven to 400˚. Lay the bacon slices in an even layer on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until lightly crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then chop. 

2. In a small bowl, combine the sriracha and 4 tablespoons mayonnaise. 

3. Toss the sweet potato fries with the olive oil and chili powder on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package directions. 

4. Combine the ground turkey, chopped bacon, chives, remaining 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, the salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Form into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick. 

5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the buns cut-side down and toast until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully wipe the pan clean and add the patties to the dry pan. Cook until browned on the bottom, 5 minutes, then flip, loosely cover and cook until the center is no longer pink, 4 to 5 more minutes. 

6. To assemble the burgers, place a piece of lettuce on each bottom bun. Add the turkey burgers, tomato, avocado and a spoonful of the sriracha mayo. Add the top buns and serve with the fries.
