Garden Turkey Burgers
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

Excellent flavor but they did fall apart. Egg would help on a grill but baking it at 350 for 30 mins turned out great too.
Flavor was great, but they tended to fall apart on the grill. I'm wondering if an egg would have helped bind them better, or I will try cooking them on a pan or griddle.
Very surprised how these burgers had great flavor, stayed moist, and didn't shrink when I made these today. Pan fried them. Used a 1/2 cup scoop and got 7 large burgers. A keeper!
My husband and I loved these turkey burgers. I put less than half of the red pepper that was called for and it was more than enough. It made 5 HUGE burgers, so we have 3 leftover. Made them on the gas grill. Very flavorful and not dry like ground turkey sometimes can be.
I made these for dinner tonight and my family LOVED them!! I diced all the veggies very fine to trick my 7 year old and it worked!! I also used green onions just as a personal preference and they were amazing that way! I thought they would turn out dry as I watched them cook but were very juicy! I cooked them on a flat top griddle instead of the grill. I will definitely make these again very soon!
These were good! I doubled the recipe and froze the extras. Quick, healthy and easy. Great recipe!
These were moist and tasty. I subsituted half carrots for half of the amount of green peppers. Even if you're a vegetable eater this is a quick way to get your vegetables. I served them on flat out breads. I will definitely make these again.
Delicious, fragrant, family-pleasers, these burgers are extraordinary. 4 generations of family - including absurdly picky eaters, deathwish dieters and crabbly in-laws - all raved. Try it as written before 'improving' the recipe.
Good taste
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.
