I made these burgers for my husband and sister after we watched the Ultimate Recipe Showdown. Great job Mary!! My family and I really enjoyed them. I made a couple additions to the burgers including chopping in some fresh cilantro and sprinkling in a few rolled oats (the ground chicken I purchased seemed quite moist and forming it into patties without a binding agent liked rolled oats or bread crumbs would have been impossible. The sauce was absolutely delicious, next time I would maybe add some chopped peanuts and some red chili flakes to give it a little more thai kick. Overall we really enjoyed the burgers!!

I am puzzled by a few things with this burger. First, 1 1/2# of ground turkey (couldn't find chicken for the life of me made 7 gigantic burgers for us. They were a very unusual texture, sort of like sausage. The flavor was very good, even with the typos in the recipe (see creator's adjustments in very first review. The sauce was really good, it just needed to simmer a bit to thicken. I might try adding some bread crumbs or something to the burgers next time to lighten up the texture, but I'll definitely make these again!

The burgers were bland, and the peanut sauce was runny. Rachel Ray's mu shu chicken patties are a much better use of ground chicken for an Asian themed burger/patty. And Rachel Ray sautees the cabbage, which makes it much tastier.
The five-star review is from the woman who submitted the recipe. These burgers are not very good.
