Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 lb lean ground turkey meat
- 1.5 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup cooked brown lentils, optional
- 1 tbsp low sugar BBQ sauce, optional
- 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise or additional yogurt
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp pickle juice
- 3 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 medium yellow potatoes, diced
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp desired spices
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup pickles, sliced
- 1 cup white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Dice the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil and desired spices until evenly coated. Add to an air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for about 15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- If using lentils, stir them into the cooked turkey along with the BBQ sauce. Lightly mash the lentils with a spatula to combine well. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onion, cheddar cheese, cooked turkey mixture, and fries.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine before serving.
Notes
- Ground beef or chicken can be substituted for turkey.
- For a lower-carb option, skip the fries or replace potatoes with roasted cauliflower.
- The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Add sesame seeds on top for extra burger flavor.
