Turkey veggie hobo burgers

I just made some deliciousness. I was going to just take some veggies and cook them in foil in the oven, which i have been all about doing ever since kristen made that when we went camping (see, you're a cook). So i was seeing what i had available, and remembered that i had just bought some garlic and herb marinade, which i figured would kick ass with this. So i cut up a couple of carrots and potatoes, a small zucchini, and some red onion, threw that in a bag with the marinade and let it set for a little bit. Then i remembered that i had a half pound of white ground turkey breast in the fridge that was going to go bad if not used soon. I made a couple of patties out of that, separated the veggies and made two little foil pouches and put one patty in each, cooked them at 350 for about half an hour, flipped it over and cooked another half hour. It turned out quite good but i think next time i will either marinade the turkey burgers for awhile as well or cook them for a shorter time because they came out a little dry, when you use the all white meat that seems to happen. Pretty damn good and healthy as well though. You could very easily make this and use any kind of veggies or marinade you choose and it would be good.
Also i refer to these as hobo burgers because that was something my mom always made when i was growing up, which consisted of a ground beef patty, carrots and sliced potatoes cooked in foil together. So this is kind of like a healthier version on that. I used get so sick of those, but its funny because now that i am older i find myself craving that sometimes. Its funny how you develop a taste for things that you were raised on, that you didn't really think you liked very much when you were younger. Is this true for anyone else?
