Great Turkey Burger
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this quickly after work for dinner for my family. Easy to make, flavorful burger. I drizzled a little balsamic vinegar... on the arugula before putting in the oven which added a nice flavor. Such a nice presentation even left-over! We cooked the burgers in a frying pan and they did not fall apart. YUM!Read more

Absolutely Flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried this recipe for the first time today. After reading the other reviews regarding the burgers falling apart, I decided... to add an egg and I also added about 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs. I did also process all of the veg in a processor. I agree that this makes more than four burgers. I got five out of the batch. Even though I drizzled with olive oil they still seemed to stick a bit on my outdoor charcoal grill and a couple of them fell apart a little. Any suggestions? Other than that these are totally fabulous...moist and bursting with flavor. I'm definitely keeping this one!Read more

Restaurant Quality and Appearance!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for dinner, and had plenty left over for lunch! Four patties would have been HUGE. I was able to get like 5 or... 6. I did add an egg, because of other reviews, and cooked mine on the smoker. YUM! They were so easy, and so aesthetically pleasing, I think they would be great to make for small dinner party. Thanks Rachel:)Read more

Awesome - Best Burgers Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These burgers were amazing! I put cheese on top of the mushroom AND on top of the burger, which made it taste even better. ... Leftovers heat up very well - I brought a burger to work and my co-workers were all commenting on how good the burger looked. Great recipe Rachael!Read more

AWESOME!

This is REALLY REALLY good! I took leftovers to work the next day and heated it up in the microwave - it tasted just as... good. Everyone in the lunch room asked me what it was because it smelled so good. Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband is a beef and potatoes kind of guy and he went back for seconds on this one! He doesn't like mushrooms so I just... put the patty on a regular bun. The flavor is wonderful and he requests these more than regular burgers!Read more
