Big disappointment! I followed recipe exact and it just was not what I expected. My husband seemed to enjoy it a little bit more but I dont think I will make this again. Thanks for sharing!

It was my first burgers on the barbecue for this year. And it's so yummy. I used lean ground beef, mild salsa. And I served mine with a little bit of lettuce, sour cream and salsa. It was delicious. Thanks Redsie for this wonderful recipe. Made for Zaar Star Game.

Automatic 5 star. This was the first homemade burger my DD has eaten. The flavor was great, not overly spicy for DH and DD. I toped mine with lettuce tomatoe and a mixture of sour cream and salsa. DH and DD had it the traditional way with mayo and mustard and ketchup. Very good, will make again....Next time on the grill when it isn't 30 degrees outside.

The best turkey burger that I have ever eaten; moist and flavorful! Using a 20 oz package of ground turkey and adjusting the other ingredients accordingly produced 8 nice burgers -2 for now, 6 to freeze for later. To please DH, I stirred in some minced jalapeno peppers and used _hot_ salsa. We both truly enjoyed biting into these! Thanks for posting this keeper!

Delicious! I used 4 oz lean ground turkey (1 burger for me!), and only used 1 1/2 tsp breadcrumbs (I grilled on my George Foreman & the patty didn't fall apart). Instead of chili seas mix, I used low sodium taco seas-which I found to add great flavor (next time I'll use just a LITTLE bit more seas mix-personal preference!). I used reduced fat mexican cheese but didn't mix it into the burger; instead I topped the patty with cheese after it was done cooking & let it melt (also just a pers preference!). I also loved the salsa/sour cream topping (for one burger, I used 1 tbsp salsa + 1 1/2 tsp fat free sour cream). Served on a whole wheat toasted bun!
