As culinary director for Balducci's, Katy Sparks brought take-out food to a whole new level. Instead of the typical fried chicken and heavy potato salad, the market offers horseradish-crusted salmon and grilled fingerling potatoes with lemon. In this recipe she's taken the often-bland turkey burger to a higher plane, with the addition of tamarind.

Test-kitchen tip:

Combine and shape the turkey mixture gently to ensure moist turkey burgers. Meat that is overworked becomes too compact and results in dry burgers.
