Turkey-Cranberry Burgers

Ingredients

• 1/2  cup finely shredded carrot
• 1/4  cup thinly sliced green onions
• 2  tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
• 2  tablespoons fat-free milk
• 1/4  teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
• 1/8  teaspoon salt
• 1/8  teaspoon ground black pepper
• 12  ounces uncooked ground turkey breast or chicken breast
• 1  cup mixed baby greens
• 4  whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 1/2  cup whole cranberry sauce

Directions

In a medium bowl, stir together carrot, green onions, bread crumbs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add ground turkey; mix well. Shape the turkey mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Place patties on a greased grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until patties are done (165°F),* turning once halfway through grilling.

Arrange mixed greens on bottoms of buns. Top with grilled patties and cranberry sauce; replace top halves of buns.

Broiling Directions: Place patties on greased unheated broiler pan rack. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 11 to 13 minutes or until done (165°F),* turning once halfway through broiling

*Test Kitchen Tip: The internal color of a burger is not a reliable doneness indicator. A turkey or chicken patty cooked to 165°F is safe, regardless of color. To measure the doneness of a patty, insert an instant-read thermometer through the side of the patty to a depth of 2 to 3 inches.
