INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 3/4 pound lean ground turkey or chicken
  • 1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • Lettuce leaves (optional)
  • Shredded or thinly sliced zucchini (optional)
  • Sliced tomato (optional)
  • Curry mustard (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Stir together milk, carrot, green onion, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add ground turkey; mix well. Shape the mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Lightly grease the grill rack.
  2. For a charcoal grill, place patties on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for about 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a patty registers 165 degrees F, turning once.
  3. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-hot. Place patties on grill rack; cover and grill patties as directed in step 2.
  4. Meanwhile, stir together mustard and curry powder.
  5. Serve patties topped with lettuce leaves, zucchini, sliced tomato, and curry mustard mixture.
