These sweet potato turkey patties are a protein packed side dish, awesome alternative breakfast option or even great on top of a salad for a healthy lunch or dinner.
Combine the turkey, garlic, maple syrup, chives, red pepper, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until combined then transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
Add the grated sweet potato to the bowl and fold into the turkey mixture until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, form the mixture into patties with your hands (make them as big or as small as you like) and place in the skillet. Cook about 2-3 minutes, flip and cook another 2 minutes. Add a splash of water to the skillet, cover and cook for another 5 minutes to help cook thoroughly without burning the outside of the patties. Remove the cover, let the liquid cook off and transfer the patties to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
