Ingredients

1 pound Ground Turkey 99% lean
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
¼ cup (60g) Chipotle Peppers in Adobo
2 Tablespoons (42g) Honey
2 Tablespoons (30g) Red Wine Vinegar or any vinegar
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 Tablespoons Water
1 bag (14 oz) Jesse & Ben's Frozen Beef Tallow Fries see notes for substitutes

For Serving

10 oz Shredded Lettuce
6 oz Cherry Tomatoes halved
¼ cup Dill Pickle Chips
½ cup (120g) Yogurt Ranch or Lite Ranch

Instructions

Blend the honey, chipotle peppers in adobo, vinegar, salt, and water together. (Or use a knife to finely mince the chipotle peppers before mixing with the other ingredients.) Set aside.
Air fry or bake the frozen fries.
In the final 10 minutes of cooking the fries, heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown before breaking apart with a spatula and fully cooking.
Add the honey chipotle sauce to the cooked ground turkey. Stir everything together and cook another 1-2 minutes (don’t stir) until the sauce reduces and begins to caramelize on the bottom. Keep warm over low heat, adding water as needed, until the fries are ready to serve.
To serve, add the shredded lettuce to bowls and top with the honey chipotle turkey, fries, tomatoes, and pickles. Drizzle the ranch over the top and dig in.

Notes

Fries Notes

You can make homemade fries by tossing sliced russet potatoes with olive oil then air frying for about 20 minutes at 400ºF, shaking a few times throughout. Plain salt and pepper works best here, but you can experiment with seasoning.

To save carbs, you can experiment with potato swaps like the butternut squash zig zags in my cheeseburger protein bowls. Or check out 8 more higher fiber alternatives in my potato swaps guide.

Lite Ranch

I used Toby's probiotic yogurt ranch with 60 calories and 6g fat per 2 tablespoons (30g) serving. You can make a lower fat option with nonfat Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and water to your desired consistency. Adding fresh parsley and dill goes a long way.
