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

Using ground turkey is something I plan on using more often. This is a fabulous recipe and my husband rated it highly. I did use a 1/2 cup of green onion instead of regular onion (it agrees more with my husband). I did make 3 burgers and made meatballs with the remainder.

I made these tonight, they were really good. I only needed 3 patties, so I made meatballs (as suggested) & froze for later use.

I'm trying to incorporate more veggies into my meals and this burger was amazing! The kids loved it and I also love the fact that the next night we had it in meatball form, saved me from having to figure out what to make for dinner!

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.
