Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. This will ensure your fries come out crispy and won't stick to the pan.

Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water in a medium bowl. Add the cut russet potatoes and enough extra water to cover them completely. Let the potatoes soak for at least 15 minutes. After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. This soaking step helps remove excess starch, making the fries crispier when baked.

In the same bowl used for soaking, combine garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the dried potatoes, then use your hands to toss and coat the wedges evenly with spices and oil. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none of them touch for optimal crisping. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries after 15 minutes, until they are crisp and lightly browned.

While the fries are baking, combine the ground turkey, thinly sliced scallions, salt, pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin in a large bowl. Mix until just combined, then form into 3 large patties using your hands. I like to toss in a pinch of any extra spices I feel like for a twist—you can do the same if you want to experiment!

Heat a skillet over medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and let it heat for another 1-2 minutes. Add the formed turkey patties (from Step 4) to the pan and cook for about 7-9 minutes per side, flipping as needed, until fully cooked through. I found mine took a little longer than expected, so don’t be afraid to flip them a couple of times for an even sear.

Place each cooked turkey patty on a romaine lettuce leaf, then top with sliced red onion and tomato. Add the baked potato wedges (from Step 3) to the plate or alongside the burgers. If using buns, add the patties, lettuce, onion, and tomato between the burger buns as desired. Let everything cool for about 30 minutes before refrigerating if storing. Eat within 4 days and add your favorite garnishes or sauces before eating. I like to add a dollop of spicy mayo or some fresh herbs just before serving for an extra kick!
