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!!

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:)
