"A pleasant surprise! Too many turkey burgers are bland and tasteless--not these! My husband is generally skeptical of turkey burgers, but he really liked these; I'll make them again--soon! I omitted the sugar; I don't like any hint of sweetness in a burger. Otherwise I made them as written and cooked them on an indoor electric grill."
"this is my go to recipe for turkey burgers best tasting by far"
"These are the BEST!!! Love them on the grill!!Also I throw in some fresh ciltrano..yum yum"
"So many spices and so little flavor. I broiled the burgers 2 minutes/side and they were dry and just not very good!"
"I was a little hesitant to make this because I haven't had the best luck w/turkey burgers but I was amazed at how good these were. Will make again!"
"This is an excellent alternative to burgers on the grill. Even my husband who cringes when I say "turkey burger" requests these!"
"I tried this recipe last year. I wasn't sure my family would like it, but it was a big hit. My husband wants to try the burgers on the grill this summer."
"These are very good! I skipped the endive and instead made guacamole with cilantro and put that on one side of the burger with the sour cream salsa on the other. Toasted the bun too. Delicious!"
"this is very good! It also is low in fat and calories."
"yum yum yum!!!!"
