This was a great burger. It was very moist and flavorsome. Thanks for posting this recipe. -
I've been using this recipie for several years now. My fiance absolutely loves them! I only use about 1/2 a package of taco seasoning, though. I feel like the whole package takes away the flavor of everything else. These are the moistest turkey burgers you will ever have. -
These burgers are really good. They are very moist. They are very flavorful, just like a taco. I didn't have any cheese crumbles, so I used shredded cheese. They turned out just fine. This was very easy to make.(I made these the other day when my Kraft Food & Family book arrived in the mail.) My MIL liked them because they weren't as messy to eat as tacos.

Hi, there! Thanks a bunch for stopping by. Before I tell you a little about myself, I'd like to start out with a GREAT BIG Thank You to all those who have taken the time to prepare, review and/or photograph my recipes. I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally, but without PM I'm unable to do so. Please know that your reviews and comments are very much appreciated!
DH and I are semi-retired and loving it! The kids are grown and on their own, so we've got enough spare time to do the things we really love doing. We enjoy spending time with our four grandkids (pictured above), and also like camping, fishing and boating. As a hobby, we're into woodcrafting and participate in local craft shows and community fairs. We're also both active and involved in our church.
