Broccoli Rabe Turkey Burgers
Report
These Broccoli Rabe Turkey Burgers are deliciously flavorful – I skipped the bun, served them over lettuce and topped with sauteed broccoli rabe – a perfect quick weeknight meal!

Ingredients
- 1 bunch (about 20 oz broccoli rabe, washed, stems trimmed off)
- 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
- 4 lices large tomato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tbsp freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 3 cloves garlic (sliced thin)
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- kosher salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Chop about 3/4 cups worth of leaves and flowers only of the broccoli rabe into very small pieces and set aside for the burger.
- Cut the remaining broccoli rabe into 2-inch pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, then add the broccoli rabe.
- Blanch for about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, drain well and set aside in a colander.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the turkey, 3/4 cup chopped broccoli rabe, Romano cheese, garlic, salt and pepper (red pepper flakes too if using).
- Form into 4 patties and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Heat a large, deep sauté pan to medium-high heat, when hot add the olive oil and garlic and cook until golden about 1 minute, careful not to burn.
- Add the broccoli rabe to the pan and toss with garlic and oil, season with 1/4 tsp salt and crushed red pepper; cook about 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through.
- While that is cooking, cook the burgers on a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through in the center.
- To serve place a lettuce leave on each plate, top tomato slice and cooked burger.
- Finish with the cooked broccoli rabe and optional more grated cheese if desired.
