Makes: 4 servings Prep: 20 minutes

Grill: 12 minutes

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.
