Spa Turkey Burger With Cucumber Yogurt Sauce image

This is a light recipe for a turkey burger. The cucumber sauce is different but refreshing when used with the alfalfa sprouts and red onion as garnish. I also add sliced avocado. The patties turn out moist, not dried out like some others I've tried.
