Asian Turkey burger with greens

This was my lunch today that I didn't plan on sharing but it was so good I just had to.  It was super simple to make so I think the lack of step by step pictures will not be a problem.

All you need is:

About 1/2 cup of lean ground turkey meat (jennie-o)
1 Green onion chopped
1/2 of a sliced up zucchinni
handful of greens
1 TBSP flour
salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste

First put the turkey meat, green onion (with the green top discarded), flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.  Mix together with your hands until the green onion is distributed throughout the meat.  Press this into a patty with your hands and start cooking on medium heat in a small sauce pan.

After about five minutes or when one side is browned turn the patty over.  At this point place the slices of zucchini around the patty and drizzle soy sauce on them.  After about a minute or when the zucchini is browned on one side turn them over with a fork and cook on the other side for a minute.

While this is cooking put a slice of whole wheat bread in the toaster and place some greens on your plate.

Take the zucchini out of the pan (you don't want your veggies to cook too long otherwise they lose their flavor and texture)

After the turkey patty is cooked all the way through (I like to check by cutting right into the center and making sure it is no longer pink) place it on the slice of toast.

Add more salt and pepper to your veggies and patty if you want more spice.  You can also drizzle some olive oil on your greens.

I paired this meal with some Jasmine tea, It hit the spot!  YUM!

If you don't like zucchini just substitute it with your favorite vegetable.  Broccoli would be a  good substitute.
