Ingredients
red potatoes
8 (cut into 4 wedges each)
olive oil
2 tablespoons
kosher salt
1 teaspoon
ground turkey
1 1/2 lbs
large egg
1 (lightly beaten)
Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon
seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon
breadcrumbs
1/4 cup

fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 (15 ounce) cans

1
Swiss cheese
6 slices
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, toss the red potato wedges with olive oil and kosher salt. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan and roast them in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are golden and tender, turning halfway through for even cooking.
3
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the turkey patties. In another large bowl, combine the ground turkey, lightly beaten egg, Dijon mustard, breadcrumbs, ground black pepper, and seasoning salt. Mix until just combined. Carefully shape the mixture into 6 patties, about 3 1/2 inches wide.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, reserving the drippings in the pan.
5
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion in the hot drippings for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
6
Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and the chicken bouillon cube, then stir in 1/2 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes while continually stirring until it's bubbly and the bouillon is dissolved.
7
Carefully return the turkey patties to the skillet, spooning the tomato mixture over each patty. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 15 minutes. After that, uncover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
8
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each turkey patty, cover the skillet, and let it cook for another 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
9
If desired, sprinkle fresh basil over the top before serving. Plate the Swiss Turkey Burgers alongside the roasted red potatoes and enjoy!
