Turkey BLT Burgers and French Fries

I got the inspiration for this from a Rachel Ray recipe but I also thinks she puts to many things in her recipe so I made quite a few changes and developed this on my own. This recipe also uses up the rest of the package of bacon I used to go with my Banana French Toast Bake this morning. This will make 2 servings.



Ingredients:
1 lb of ground turkey
6 slices of bacon cut in half
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 sliced tomato
2 leaves of lettuce
2 medium potatoes
2 hamburger buns
Cooking oil



1. Cook up all your bacon and then chop up 3 slices of bacon into bits and put in a bowl. Shred your mozzarella and add to the bowl. Mix with Turkey. When mixed well shape into 2 patties.

2. Cut up your potatoes in half then each half cut into fries. Heat about half inch of oil in a frying pan. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to another frying pan for you burgers. I just reused my bacon pan for this part to not make to many dishes and since the burgers have bacon in them anyway. I just rinsed out all the grease.

3. Put Burgers in frying pan for about 6 minutes on each side. You do not want any pink in the middle at all and if you have a thermometer the internal temp should read 165. Throw the french fries into the oil and bring to a boil and let boil for about 15 minutes. Toss them for about another 5 minutes then remove to a paper towel and let the excess oil drain off.


4. Toast the hamburger buns under a broiler for a couple minutes then assemble your burgers with bacon lettuce and tomatoes. I put Mayonnaise on mine as well.
