Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Italian sausage seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.33 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 1 green apple, julienned
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole grain burger buns
- 1 cup mixed greens
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, Italian sausage seasoning, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Cook the burger patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the fennel slaw. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced fennel bulb, julienned green apple, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a handful of mixed greens on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the turkey patty. Top with a generous serving of fennel slaw, then place the top bun to finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
