Low Carb Roasted Fennel Turkey Burgers

Slice the fresh fennel stalks thinly, like an onion. Don’t discard the bulb and fronds of the fennel. Instead, place them in the bottom of a baking dish. They provide a nice layer on the bottom of the dish to prop up the sliced fennel stalks. Lay the thinly sliced stalks on top and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top. Leave the lemon pieces in the baking dish.

While the fennel is roasting in the oven, form the low carb turkey burger patties. Be sure to season the patties well with salt and pepper. Grill them up, timing the completion of the turkey burgers with the completion of the fennel roasting. The turkey burger patties can be grilled on an actual grill or in a grill pan on the stove. Cook the patties for about five minutes per side or until slightly browned. Remember, turkey burgers need to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F according to the National Turkey Federation.
