Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and cut the russet potatoes into evenly sized wedges. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the potato wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt on top. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
While the fries are baking, prepare the turkey burger patties. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the seasonings are just combined; avoid overmixing as it can make the patties tough.
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ½-inch thick.
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with olive oil. Cook the turkey patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Lightly toast the whole wheat buns in a toaster or on the skillet for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Assemble the turkey burgers: Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom bun, set the turkey patty on top, and finish with the top half of the bun. Add low-sugar ketchup or mustard, if desired.
Serve the turkey burgers warm alongside the baked chili fries.
