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

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Set aside.
Step 3
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).
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
