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

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the dressing: Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chives, basil, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the burgers: Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the buns, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
- Top the bun bottoms with the lettuce, tomatoes, burger patties, alfalfa sprouts and avocado. Drizzle with the dressing, then cover with the bun tops.

GARDEN TURKEY BURGERS
My family has been trying to eat better. I am a diabetic and I also had open heart surgery to repair my Mitral Valve a few years ago, so we are trying to use more chicken and turkey in our diet. We really loved turkey burgers that we got in a fast food resturant, be we felt that we could do better at home. The problem was that the turkey burgers were really dry when we tried to make them ourselves. This recipe is the result of a lot of experimenting, until we found a way to make the burgers moister and not so heavy. Bread crumbs and an egg weren't enough so we added the vegetables and that did the trick.
