Buffalo Turkey Burgers
I’m all about all the buffalo flavors!! Especially this time of year and all of the fall weather, these are the flavors that I can’t get enough of. As you know, I love making things that I can use in a variety of ways throughout the week. I made these burgers into smaller patties for the sweet potato buns and then used the remaining ones to put on a salad and make a ‘burger salad’ and with sweet potato fries. You can also make the patties bigger and use burger buns to make up an actual burger with them.
So many options for toppings! Add some guacamole, use the buffalo yogurt sauce that I have or even add in cheese.
The buffalo turkey burgers are completely Whole 30 approved, you would just need to omit the sauce on top and switch it out for something like avocado, more buffalo sauce or a Whole30 approved ranch. So good!
What you need for the Southwestern Sauce:
- 2 tbsp Siggi’s Plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp + ½ tsp buffalo sauce
- salt, pepper
- garlic powder
- For the sweet potato buns:
- 2 round sweet potatoes
- Avocado Oil Spray (I used this one)
- Salt, pepper
