These turkey burgers are great! Very moist and so flavorful. I don't care for raw onions so left out the scallions, otherwise made as directed. Served simple, with spicy mustard and leafy lettuce. Delicious and healthy - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2011 event, recommended by Blue Rose

I took a chance on picking this recipe for Let's P-A-R-T-Y!

Wow did I pick a winner! We loved the flavor.

Because of how good they came out I chose to make another batch to freeze.
