Here’s a table setting guide from Emily Post to help you remember.

Serves 4
Hands-On Time: 25m
Total Time: 25m
Ingredients
Directions
1. Heat broiler. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, zucchini, carrot, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, turning once, until no pink remains, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, place the bread on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining oil. Broil until golden brown and crisp, about 1 ½ minutes.
4. Transfer the bread to individual plates. Top with the lettuce and burgers. If desired, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice and serve with the burgers.
Tip
For extra zest, immediately after removing the bread from the oven, rub it with the cut side of a peeled, halved garlic clove.
