Hi Christopher - I've made this recipe a bunch of times and it's one of the best turkey burger I've had! That's because it's so moist and flavorful thanks to the panade. The main issue with replacing the mayonnaise with whole milk yogurt, especially in the burgers themselves, is the discrepancy in fat content. One of the reasons we chose mayonnaise here is because the fat in it added moisture and flavor to otherwise flavorless, lean ground turkey. Whole milk yogurt only has about .9 grams of fat per tablespoon, whereas mayonnaise has 10 grams of fat per tablespoon. Almost 10x as much. If you're dead-set on using yogurt, I would probably still use the mayonnaise in the burgers themselves and replace the 5 tablespoons of mayo in the spread with yogurt. You'll likely have to add some salt to the spread, since mayo has more sodium than yogurt. I hope that helps. Best, Lynn C.
