"This incorporates vegetables and it has a fantastic and unique flavor. My toddler loves these and she is getting a hidden source of veggies! I found this in the Taste of Home magazine in the August/September 2008 issue."

Delicious! My son had 2 burgers. Anything with the word pizza attached, is usually a plus in his mind. LoL! I couldn't find turkey pepperoni, so used regular. The only thing is, when using that, the burger is a bit on the greasy side. However, since I used my grill pan, the fat drained into the grooves, so they weren't sitting in the fat. I also was out of wheat buns and therefore had to use regular Italian buns. Definitely a keeper. :)
