How to Make Bangers and Mash
Bangers and Mash is a traditional Irish Pub food that is usually very high in fat and carbs. This healthier version uses home made turkey sausage and mashed sweet potatoes to make it more diabetes-friendly and heart healthy.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Line the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooling, mix the whole wheat bread and egg, and mix well until bread is softened and a paste forms. Stir in the ground turkey, thyme, sage, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp of the salt, and 1/4 tsp of the black pepper.
- Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal sized patties and sauté in a medium non-stick sauté pan coated with cooking spray for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the center of the patty reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Once the sweet potatoes have cooled slightly, peel the skins off (they should be easy to peel off by hand) and add the peeled sweet potatoes to a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp pepper. Mash with a potato masher or sturdy whisk until fluffy.
- Serve one sausage patty on top of a scoop of the mashed sweet potatoes.
