  1. I too made these with ground turkey and they were delicious!!! These are exceptionally good if you use ground sirloin with sundried tomato pesto also. I served mine on the new multi-grain flatbreads with leaf lettuce and tomato. Yummy.
     
  2. These were great! I used extra lean ground turkey but followed everything else as written. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of pesto and the instructions ask for an additional 1/4 of a cup pesto? I used a total of 1/2 cup. It was delicious so I think that I made it right. I made these into sandwiches and added sliced provolone and tomatoes to it. It was a mouth full! :) Thanks so much for posting!!
     
  3. These were great! I love pesto so I knew I was bound to love these! Made for Easter Egg Hunt Tag Game.
     
  4. Loved these burgers! I was short on time so I used a jared sun dried tomato pesto and doubled the garlic, other than that it was just as directed. Thank you for posting this!
     
  5. Made exactly as written, these burgers are *moist* and flavorful. Excellent way to perk up that often-dry extra lean ground beef. I threw some onion slices in the pan as I sauteed the burgers and we ate them straight up; no buns invited. Thanks for posting this keeper!

  1. Made these tonight on the grill, I doubled the recipe, used my recipe#144195, I also added in a finey grated potato for moistness, I used 1 small yellow onion in place of green onion, and added in 1/4 cup extra spicy ketchup;-) these burgers are big on flavor, we enjoyed them, thanks for sharing Reds!...Kitten:)
