These moist burgers get plenty of color and flavor from onion, zucchini and red pepper. I often make the mixture ahead of time and put it in the refrigerator. Later, after helping my husband with farm chores, I can put the burgers on the grill while whipping up a salad or side dish. -Sandy Kitzmiller, Unityville, Pennsylvania

These are the best burgers. I usually make them one day ahead, so the flavors blend. I also slighty freeze them before putting them on the indoor grill so they don't fall apart. If you have extra after your burgers, I make them into little turkeyballs, and bake them. They make a wonderful side dish with a salad.
