Yield: 4 servings  


Burgers


1 lb ground turkey

¼ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp avocado oil


Sweet Potato “Buns”


1 large sweet potato, peeled and sliced into ⅓-inch slices

2 to 3 Tbsp avocado oil


In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey and spices until mixed well, but don’t over-mix.

Wet hands and divide mixture into 8 equal portions, then form into patties. Pat down really flat, as they will plump up when they cook. 


Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy cooking pan over medium heat, then add avocado oil and swirl pan to cover the bottom. Add the meat patties and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165º F, approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side.


For the sweet potato buns, heat a cast iron skillet or a heavy cooking pan over medium heat, then add avocado oil and swirl the pan to cover the bottom. Add the sweet potato slices and cook until golden and tender but not mushy, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side.


To assemble the bento box, place two burgers in the largest compartment and add fresh veggies and fruits to the smaller compartments.
