Turkey Parm Burgers with Arugula Fennel Salad

Make your burger patties

To a large bowl, add 1/3 cup panko, 1/3 cup grated parmesan, 3/4 tsp ground fennel seed, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 cup minced white onion, 1 egg and mix well. Add in ground turkey and mix lightly with hand until just incorporated. Divide into 4 patties and place into fridge for a few minutes.

Prep your salad

To a large bowl, add 1 tub arugula, 1/3 cup parm, a pinch of salt, juice of 1 lemon, 1 thinly sliced fennel bulb, and a good glug of olive oil (about 3 tbsp). Mix well and set aside.

Cook your patties

Set your oven to broil and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. To a large pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Cook burger patties until golden brown on each side and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove from pan and place onto baking sheet. Top each patty with 1/4 cup marinara sauce, and 1/4 of your cheese.

Add your buns to the baking sheet, buttering the insides, and placing butter side up.

Broil for 5 or so minutes until cheese is melted and buns are toasted - keeping a very close eye so they don't burn - you may need to remove buns early.

Assemble

Place patties on your toasted buns and top with a good handful of your salad on each burger. Serve remaining salad on the side.
