Are there any good, more modern alternatives to Turbo Basic for people who want to get back into programming in BASIC?

Depends. The two that I'm familiar with are probably FreeBASIC and QB64.
QB64 is pretty popular as a sort of QBASIC-dialect with additional features like OpenGL, multimedia support, etc.
FreeBasic is decent as well but its focus is more on being a compiler whereas QB64 aims to be more batteries-included with its builtin IDE.

ThoreauBASIC has just come up on Hacker News:

My understanding is that QB64 is defacto dead and the Phoenix Edition is the continuation of the project which still receives regular updates.
