Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2
Slice the sweet potato into ½ inch rounds and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes. Move them around the pan with your hands to evenly coat them (avoiding overlapping) and roast for 30 minutes or until tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, chop mushrooms very finely and add to the mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the Italian seasoning and salt to the bowl with the mushrooms. Add the ground turkey and mix with your hands.
Step 5
Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and turn the heat to medium-high. Using a ¼ measuring cup, scoop out the turkey mixture directly onto the pan and flatten with your hand to mold into burger patties.
Step 6
Cook each burger for 5 minutes. Flip, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the burger is cooked through and no longer pink.
Step 7
While the burgers are cooking, drain the red peppers and add to a blender. Roughly chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Add ingredients to the blender. Add the sliced almonds, salt , vinegar, and olive oil. Blend until combined.
Notes
Romesco Sauce can easily be substituted for ketchup or your favorite sauce.
