These burgers were pretty good. Very oniony. Per the other reviews, we added about a third of a cup of bread crumbs. We also added an extra tablespoon of jerk seasoning, but we still couldn't taste the jerk. Overall, these burgers were fairly satisfying with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, sharp cheddar, and mayo as toppings. Happy grilling! -
Yum! I added some bread crumbs (my mixture was very runny) and used fresh herbs instead of watercress, then pan fried on medium heat. The flavors were very good, but a lot less 'jerk-y' that I expected. Next time, I will add lots more spice and some cayenne. Overall, a very good recipe, and healthy too! Thanks! -
Wonderfully unique flavor compared to other turkey burgers. We both loved it. The raw mixture is very wet and loose so I put the mixture into the frig to cool, then formed the burgers and placed them in the freezer until they firmed up and were easily moved with the spatula. I used recipe #1181 and recipe #10710. I subbed parsley for the watercress. Cook these burgers on medium to medium-low heat as they burn easily. I pan-fried which I think was probably easier than grilling such a loose, moist mixture. Delicious, adagger.

I used chicken mince instead so I had to add breadcrumbs to hold it together but the flavours were absolutely delicious, a hit at the bbq -
