Oven Fries and Spicy Fry Sauce

Aug 30, 2019
Family Meals Month Meal Suggestion: host your own casual “fun day” dinner complete with turkey burgers, oven fries, spicy fry sauce, and root beer floats!

Prepare turkey burgers using pre-made patties or make your own with ground turkey. Avocado, red onion, tomato, lettuce, and Monterey Jack cheese are favored fixings. The sassy mayo-Sriracha combo in the Spicy Fry Sauce can jazz up your burger as well as makes a delicious dip for those crispy oven fries. Get a head start on the root beer floats by scooping vanilla ice cream into tall glasses and stash in the freezer until ready to serve. Pour your favorite root beer over ice cream just before serving. Don’t forget the spoon!
