Who Says Burgers Aren’t Healthy?

Per my usual, when I have a free moment, I find myself scrolling through pictures of food. I do this more than I’d like to admit, because honestly, I do it even when I don’t have a free moment and I should really be doing something else. So the other day I came across a beautiful photo of a burger on a sweet potato “bun” and decided I must have them NOW. You can find the original recipe for the burgers here, but of course, I changed it up a bit. And let me tell you, these burgers rocked!! I ate three. Only one of those was with the “bun” because I was at my carb limit for the day, but they are so good even without the sweet potato. I topped mine with a dab of mustard and a couple of spinach leaves. The end result is a ton of flavor and not a lot of fat or calories.
