It’s burger month! Crank up your turkey burgers with spicy mustard and sweet potato, served with spicy mustard-mayo and a pretzel roll.
It’s burger month! A month-long celebration of all things burger hosted by Kita (Pass the Sushi & Girl Carnivore) and joined by 30 other bloggers including myself. Every day this month each one of us is sharing a different burger recipe and to make the deal even more delicious we’re hosting a giveaway with prizes to help get your burger on. Just use the Rafflecopter widget located at the bottom of this post.
My burger is actually a turkey burger. A turkey burger mixed with sweet potato and smokey chipotle mustard, topped with a smokey chipotle mustard-mayo, and served on a pretzel bun. While I was at it I marinaded some zucchini and yellow squash in a mixture of olive oil and the same spicy mustard to grill along with the burgers. You may be thinking that mustard in every component is over-kill but I assure you it is not. The mustard added a different kick of flavor to each part. Why not slather the mustard on the burger bun too while you’re at it?

[…] Going along with the theme of recurrences I made yet another version of seasoned hard pretzels. They are so easy to make and difficult to resist. This one was inspired by the expansive supply of El Diablo spicy mustards I received for July’s Burger Month. […]

Tried these finally, saved the recipe! They were a hit!!! Thanks for sharing!
My best burger creation has been a beef burger with pepperjack cheese, avocado, caramelized onions, and sauteed mushrooms. Plus all the regular fixings like lettuce and tomatoes. It was huge but SO delicious!
Blueberry venison burgers!
My epic burger creation is a burger BLT burger with aged Cheddar cheese, lettuce & tomatoes provided by our veggie garden.
I think in honor of the turkey/sweet potato/Thanksgiving link I’d probably add a cranberry/mustard chutney as a topping. I’m going to pin your recipe and put it into this month’s menu plan. My family are die-hard mustard fans and this will undoubtedly be a new favorite.
Oh good idea, let me know how it turns out!
LOVE the sound of the smokey chipotle mustard-mayo…. yeah, that could be a dangerous condiment right there. And the sweet potato goes perfect with the turkey burger. Digging it! :D Thanks for joining in on Burger Month!
Italiano Burger: Fresh moz, basil, sundried tomatoes, hot peppers!
You know I add sweet potatoes to meatloaf but never thought to do it to a burger! Smartypants!! Love it!
I am loving turkey burgers lately. What a great idea to actually put the sweet potatoes in with the meat!
I love the idea of mixing sweet potato into the turkey burger, I bet it had amazing flavor!
Love that you added the sweet potato right into the burgers! These sound great!
I would have never thought to combine these flavors or to mix sweet potato into the burgers themselves…genius!
I am not a fan of veggies, so I blended up some peas, carrots and green peppers and mixed them in with my ground beef, shaping into patties and grilled them! My son and i both loved them, and I didn’t have to feel as guilty about eating greasy burgers!
Turkey burgers topped with horseradish and bacon
We made burgers stuffed with blue cheese and topped with bacon and tomatoes.
I used two of the El Diablo mustards in my burger. It’s coming up tomorrow! Yours looks fabulous. I love that you added sweet potato to the burger.
I love turkey burgers! This combination sounds great. I enjoy making italian turkey burgers with a marinara sauce and topped with provolone cheese.
My epic burger creation is a burger stuffed with caramelized onions, bacon and extra sharp cheddar cheese. Top it with some chipotle mayo and put it on a toasted ciabatta bun and that is just plain delicious!
Wow, Erin. You did turkey and sweet potatoes proud. I love that you used the combination in the burger and then topped it with that amazing mustard. It looks delicious.
WOW! Anything that is a celebration of the burger is fantastic in my book!
