Ingredients:  
For the broccoli rabe:

1 bunch (about 20 oz) broccoli rabe, washed, stems trimmed off
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
kosher salt, to taste
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

For the patties:

1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
3 tbsp freshly grated Pecorino Romano Cheese (I used mozzarella cheese)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

For the burger:

4 slices large tomato
4 large lettuce leaves

Directions:
Directions:
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 saute 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.
