R.O.D.-Mini Ranch Turkey Burgers

I just found these on MSNs "Delish" and they sound great for us!  Small, full of protein and low fat.  Great for this weekend's barbeques!

Mini Ranch Turkey Burgers

·      1 1/4 pound(s) (ground) turkey

·      1 medium carrot, shredded, about .5 cups

·      1 green onion, chopped

·      1/4 cup(s) ranch salad dressing, plus extra for topping

·      1/4 cup(s) ranch salad dressing, plus extra for topping

·      teaspoon(s) pepper

·      12 (mini ) potato rolls or other small buns, split

·      lettuce, tomato and/or red onion, for garnish, optional

 

1.    Preheat grill. Combine ground turkey in a bowl with shredded carrot, green onion and dressing until blended, but don’t overmix.

2.    Shape turkey mixture into twelve 1/2-inch-thick mini burgers; sprinkle on both sides with pepper. Mist both sides of burgers with nonstick cooking spray.

3.    Place burgers on hot grill rack over medium heat; cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until they reach desired doneness, turning once. If you like, toast rolls on grill during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve burgers on buns. Top with more ranch dressing, lettuce, tomato and/or red onion, if you like.
