You can also mix in different vegetables. Chopped bell peppers or grated zucchini can add moisture and flavor. They keep the turkey burgers juicy and colorful. If you need gluten-free options, skip the breadcrumbs. Just use extra spinach or a bit of ground oats. This keeps the burger tasty and helps bind it.
