1 lb. ground chicken (our store was out so I substituted lean ground turkey)

1/2 tsp each kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
2 Tbsp. Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
olive oil cooking spray
4 potato or brioche hamburger buns
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cups baby arugula
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
1. Mix chicken, zucchini, Parmesan, oregano, and half of the salt and pepper in a medium bowl: form into four 3 1/2 inch round burgers, about 3/4 in. thick. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of the breadcrumbs over tops of the burgers.
2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and place over medium heat. lightly spray crumb-coated side of burgers with spray and place in skillet, crumb side down; cook 5 minutes or until first sides are golden brown. Sprinkle remaining breadcrumbs over tops of burgers, coat with olive oil spray, and flip burgers with a spatula. Cook 5 minutes longer or until second sides are golden and burgers are fully cooked.
3.While burgers are cooking, brush buns with 1Tbsp. of the oil and toast, cut sides down, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, 1 or 2 min. Remove from skillet.
4. In a medium bowl, toss arugula, tomatoes, vinegar, and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Place burgers on bottom half of bun, top with arugula salad, then place bun on top of salad.
*we added mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the buns as well. SO yum!

Then I served with fresh asparagus and Carmel Toffee Scones for dessert :)
Asparagus
Rinse and cut off about 1 inch off the bottom of the bunch. Put in a glass Pyrex dish and pour light soy sauce all over the asparagus and sprinkle a handful of kosher salt on top. Broil for about 10 minutes and remove. Crisp and delish!
MMM. You are making me hungry. Never thought to put soy sauce on asparagus, will have to try it.
