Tips

  • The wetness of the turkey burger mixture is key for a juicy burger, thanks to the fat.
  • Wet hands prevent the turkey mixture from sticking when forming patties.
  • Soaking fries in cold water removes starch, making them crispier.
  • Spreading fries evenly on the baking sheet ensures even cooking and crispness.
  • Adding cornstarch to fries helps achieve an extra crispy texture.
