Turkey burgers with sweet potato circles and brussel sprouts


This meal is a super food meal! I made turkey burgers with dijon mustard - which worked as a binder for the meat and I saved points by not adding egg - roasted garlic, salt and pepper. They're on top of french bread I put in the oven until crispy. Then I baked the sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, touch of cinnamon and drizzled 2 tsp of olive oil. I was afraid that wouldn't be enough but they came out perfect! The brussel sprouts were fresh from the farmers market and I quartered them, drizzled 2 tsp of olive oil on them, added salt and pepper and a ton of balsamic vinegar. I love roasted brussel sprouts, the fresh ones taste NOTHING like the frozen ones.

Point breakdown
Turkey burger patties - 10 pts (but I could barely eat it all it was so much food!)
sweet potatos - 4 pts
dijon mustard - 0 pts
olive oil - 4 pts
brussel sprouts - 0 pts
balsamic vinegar - 0 points
french bread - 2 pts per slice (I only ate 1 I was so full)

= 20 point meal and I was STUFFED and it was so delicious. Definitely recommend using dijon in the turkey meat it is delish.
