Absolutely delicious! Have been looking for a good turkey burger recipe. I did tweak the recipe a bit though. For hot sauce and black pepper I cut back the portion to 1/4 teaspoon each. I also diced sweet onion (Vidalia or Texas Sweets and used red bell pepper in place of onion and green pepper. The changes did not take away from the original recipe as the burgers were wonderful and still had the bite of hot sauce and black pepper. I feel the onion buns added another layer of flavor and will definitely use them as opposed to plain buns.<br />Can't wait to make more and freeze for beach cookouts! <br />
