In this fun recipe twist, heirloom tomatoes become the buns for bacon cheeseburgers. Look for large, squat tomatoes so they’ll have enough surface area to encompass the burger patties. If they’re too thick to handle easily, slice some off to make them thinner (and save those slices for sandwiches later in the week). Be sure to squeeze out the seeds so that the burger is easier to eat. We fold some shredded zucchini into the turkey mixture to keep them moist and juicy and add fresh garlic to pump up the flavor.
