Turkey burgers are nothing new these days, but we're willing to bet you haven't had one quite like ours. Usually, turkey burger simply means “flavorless burger,” but we give this lean patty a serious umami infusion with miso paste, and a tender texture thanks to fresh ricotta cheese. Top it off with caramelized red onions and a soft pretzel bun, and you've got a burger that's leaner, meaner, and tastier than all the others. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off a thin slice along its length. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from.

Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
- Seafood 145° F |
- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |

Customize It Instructions
-
If using ground beef or ground pork, follow same instruction as ground turkey in steps 3 and 4, roasting in hot oven until burgers reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-12 minutes.
-
If using bacon, cook while onion caramelizes in Step 5. Line a plate with a paper towel. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add bacon to hot pan. Flip occasionally until crisp, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Top burgers with bacon.

1 Roast the Sweet Potato Cottage Fries

Toss sweet potato rounds with 2 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on one prepared baking sheet. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes.Spread into a single layer. Roast in hot oven,15 minutes.Carefully, flip rounds and roast again until tender, 8-10 minutes.While sweet potato roasts, prepare onion. -
2 Prepare the Onion
Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips.

3 Form the Burgers
Combine turkey, ricotta, panko, miso, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a mixing bowl.
Form mixture into two patties, about 4" in diameter. Make a small 1/2" indentation in the middle of patties to keep burger flat during cooking. If mixture is too moist to hold together, use plastic wrap to shape patties. -
4 Cook the Burgers
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and patties to hot pan and sear until brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer burgers to second prepared baking sheet and roast in hot oven until burgers reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-12 minutes.Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.While burgers roast, caramelize onions. -
5 Caramelize Onion and Toast Buns
