Wednesday Dinner Time

Wednesdays are the only day that Joe has off from work, the whole day, so today I wanted to do something quick and easy to clean up after, but still a sit down meal we can enjoy as a family.

Today's Menu: Turkey burgers, sweet potato fries, and salad.

This isn't a recipe blog, but today I will post a bit about how I prepared it.

Sweet Potato Fries:

3 large sweet potatoes (which ended up being too much for our family so one large or a large and a medium might be better)
2 tablespoons EVOO
Salt, pepper and garlic to taste

Peel the sweet potatoes, slice into fry shapes. Rinse, then drain really well.



In a bowl, drizzle EVOO and toss until evenly coated.

Spread onto pan, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. I mixed a bit of each together, gave a shake, and sprinkled.



Place in oven at 400 degrees and let bake for about 30 minutes, turning once.

With the turkey burgers, I put a little salt, garlic pepper, crushed red pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in with two pounds of ground turkey. Tossed in a little bit of Italian bread crumbs and mixed.





Then formed into eight patties for the grill.



I turned the sweet potatoes after a half hour and put them back in the oven. This was the final product.



The potatoes weren't as crisp as I had wanted them to turn out, but they were still delicious. Joe and Christian really enjoyed!

And for our family of three, that left plenty for lunch today for me and Joe.
