Turkey And Sweet Potato Patties With Fresh Fruit Salsa

Ingredients: 

=== TURKEY AND SWEET POTATO PATTIES ===
Refrigerated butter-flavored cooking spray as needed
1 small onion - (4 oz) finely chopped
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 1/2 cups minced cooked turkey
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/4 cup walnuts finely chopped
6 cups mixed baby greens
=== FRESH FRUIT SALSA ===
1 navel orange - (8 oz) peeled, segmented,
and chopped, plus any juice from orange
1 Granny Smith apple - (8 oz) cored, chopped fine
1 scallion, white part and 2 green chopped
4 ounces red bell pepper minced
2 jalape

Yield: 

4 Servings

Method: 

Lightly coat a large nonstick saute pan with cooking spray; add the onions and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to color and are reduced by a third.

In a large bowl place the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked onion, turkey, egg substitute, and orange rind. Mix well.

Place the chopped walnuts on a sheet of waxed paper. Form the potato-turkey mixture into 8 small patties and lightly coat with walnuts (the nuts will not totally cover the patty surfaces). Place patties on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover with foil and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Wash and chill the greens.

While the patties are chilling, combine the chopped orange and any residual juice, apple, scallion, red pepper, jalape
