BBQ Potato Chip Turkey Cheeseburger Bowls
I can tell you with confidence that these BBQ turkey burgers are kid approved, since just the smell of burgers cooking lured both boys into the kitchen, where they taste tested and gave their stamp of approval to the recipe!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- for the burgers
- 1 cup crushed barbecue potato chips
- 1-1.25 lbs ground turkey
- 2 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- Black pepper to taste
- for the salad bowl
- 2 hearts romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 vine ripe tomatoes chopped
- ½ of a medium cucumber peeled and chopped
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Crush up some barbecue potato chips until you have one cup of BBQ potato chip crumbs. (I just pulsed the chips a few times in my little food chopper -- I do so love this food chopper! -- which took two batches to fill one cup.)
- Combine all burger ingredients in a large bowl, then form the ground turkey mixture into four patties. Grill or pan fry your turkey burgers to desired doneness, pressing down with a spatula occasionally to flatten slightly and ensure that they cook through.
- Meanwhile, chop the lettuce and vegetables for your salad. Divide the chopped romaine among four plates or bowls, and top each salad with a burger, tomato, cucumber, onion, and cheese.
- Serve with ranch dressing and more barbecue potato chips -- you can also crumble some right on top, if you're feeling adventurous.
Notes
Red onion would be a little sweeter and prettier, but you makes do with what you have on hand! ;) You can also swap out for your own favorite lettuce(s) and/or burger toppings -- avocado, for instance, would be a lovely addition here. These burger bowls are gluten free as long as your chips and dressing are; the barbecue potato chips and dressing from ALDI that I used here were both labeled GF.
