I used one jalapeno instead of 2 & made 4 burgers instead of 6. The only thing I will do different next time is eliminate the water - it seemed like it made the raw meat too thin & hard to handle. Otherwise, it was very tasty & a healthy alternative to beef burgers. Next time I will serve it with sweet potato fries.

I only used half of the jalapenos, garlic, and cilantro and these were still delicious. I will be making them again!

Excellent flavor! Made them with ground beef instead of turkey; topped them with lettuce, tomato and avocado.

I made this for dinner last night and I thought it was pretty good. I made 6 burgers out of it as it said 6 servings but by the time the burgers were off of the grill they were a little small. Only because I didnt think it was spicey enough I am going to use a few more Jalapenos next time. If it is your first time making this I would start with what is recommended and then go from there. I will more than likely make these again.

This is SOOO GOOD! I did change it up quite a bit. I used ground beef instead of turkey and I fried instead of grilling these. (I know a lot more fattening.) They were so good. I will be making these often!

This is sooo good! I have diabetes so instead of dinner rolls I used diabetic friendly pita bread http://www.josephsbakery.com/p-10287-High-Fiber-Plus-Diabetic-Friendly-Pita-Bread - my new discovery. Thanks for this recipe, I will definitely make it again.
