Veggie Filled Burgers

2 TB milk
1/2 cup carrot, finely shredded
1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
1/4 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
Dash pepper
3/4 lb. lean ground turkey or chicken
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. curry powder
4 whole wheat or white hamburger buns, split and toasted
Lettuce leaves, optional
Shredded or thinly sliced zucchini, optional
Sliced tomatoes, optional
Curry mustard, optional

1. Stir together milk, carrot, green onions, 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" thick patties.
Lightly grease the grill rack.

2. For a charcoal grill, place patties on the greased grill rack
directly over medium-hot coals. Grill,
uncovered, about 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer
inserted into the side of a patty
registers 165º 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 on buns topped, if desired, with lettuce leaves,
zucchini, sliced tomato, and curry
mustard mixture.
