  • 1 tsp3 gGarlic powder
  • ¾ tsp4 gSalt

Steps

  1. Make the quick pickles first: stir the cider vinegar, water, sugar and dill until the sugar dissolves, add the cucumber and red onion, and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato with half the canola oil and a quarter of the salt, spread on a baking sheet, and roast 30 to 35 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.
  3. Meanwhile, make the sauce: whisk the mustard, honey and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  4. Mix the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and the remaining salt. Divide the turkey into 8 loose balls without seasoning them yet.
  5. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining canola oil. Add 4 turkey balls, smash each flat with a sturdy spatula, and sprinkle with half the spice mix.
  6. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until crusty, flip, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until the center reaches 165°F (74°C). Repeat with the remaining 4 balls and the remaining spice mix.
  7. Divide the cabbage among 4 bowls, add the roasted sweet potato and 2 patties each.
  8. Lift the cucumber and red onion pickles from their brine and pile them on top, then drizzle with the honey-mustard sauce.
