Author Notes

I created this recipe around Thanksgiving when we decided to forego the traditional turkey meal, but still wanted some nostalgic flavours.

I decided to use ground turkey, and mix it with pear and bacon in the hopes of creating a brightly flavoured patty.

I also chose to move away from buns, as we do not consume gluten so I used thick slices of sweet potato to nest the little patties. (and keep those Thanksgiving flavours going). —T. Cummings
