    This is a good (not great) way to add a little flavor to a turkey burger. Really easy.

    • 23 years ago

    This is a wonderful change from the same old burgers. It has a great taste and kids will not even know it is turkey. Even my boyfriend loves it!!!!!

    • 23 years ago

    This is the best burger we (family & friends) have ever had.

    • 23 years ago

    This recipe is absolutely delicious. I wanted to try something new when I had visitors at my house and they loved it.

    • 22 years ago

    We loved these burgers, easy and quick.

    • 22 years ago

    This is the BEST recipe for turkey burgers! My husband didn’t even realize it was turkey until I told him after we ate. I will use this recipe again many times!

    • 22 years ago

    Very flavorful and easy to make. I made up a big batch shaped them into patties and froze the ones I didn’t need. Those cooked up prefectly a week later.

    • 22 years ago

    Family loved this recipe with ground turkey. Certainly makes turkey burgers taste a lot better.

    • 22 years ago

    This recipe is wonderful. These are equally as great on the grill as well as in the pan. I have shared it with quite a few people since I discovered it.
    My whole family loves it, including my finicky 2 year old! Thanks for a quick and
    delicious recipe!

    • 21 years ago

    Very good recipe! I was a little worried it would be too salty with both the Lipton Onion Soup Mix and soy sauce, but it was not at all! Very moist. I topped it off with swiss cheese. It was also a nice change because ground turkey breast can be so dry and boring! Yummy! Will make again!

    • 21 years ago

    Quick, easy and tasty! So good that you might defeat the purpose of low-fat cooking by eating more than you should. I speak from experience.

    Though I used extra lean ground turkey, the burgers still remained quite moist. If you use extra-lean ground turkey, be careful with your heat. Too much heat will burn the outsides of your burgers if you are working with extra-lean turkey. I added some low-fat Swiss cheese and with relish, ketchup, mustard and onions – this was a Friday night feast! To add to the healthfulness of the recipe, I used eggbeaters instead of an egg and whole wheat hamburger buns. I will have this recipe again and again.

    • 21 years ago

    These were pretty good burgers. Not dry or anything and not too salty tasting. I don’t think my husband would’ve been able to tell that it was turkey and not beef if I didn’t tell him. I didn’t give it five stars because it’s not one of those “Oh my God, I love this” type recipe – but nothing bad about it.

    • 21 years ago

    My fiance loves these! He always says how good they are each time we have them. They are very juicy and the onion soup mix adds great flavor. You can’t really tell they aren’t beef. Make them often!

    • 21 years ago

    Thank goodness I found this recipe! It is awesome!! It reminds me of Salsbury Steak. I am definately adding it to my favorites and passing it on to family and friends.

    • 21 years ago

    These were great! First time making turkey burgers– didn’t change a thing and was NOT too salty. They were moist and I even used the 99% fat free grd turkey breast. Definitely a keeper recipe! Thanks for sharing.

    • 21 years ago

    Great recipe – I tried making turkey loaf but add-ing 2 tbs. diced bell pepper & covering the top with 1/2 bottle LaChoy Sweet & Sour Sauce – Thank you for the recipe – it’s delicious!!!!

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent! I used egg whites instead of whole eggs to make this recipe healthier. Even my 2 year old likes it! Will make over & over again!

    • 21 years ago

    My picky family raved about this recipe last night! It’s rare when we all agree! I used an egg white instead of whole egg, like suggested earlier. Also, put a slice of canadian bacon and pineapple ring with some fat-free mayo! Yummy hawaiian turkey burgers! This recipe will be enjoyed for years to come!

    • 21 years ago

    We had these for dinner this evening, and they were the best turkey burgers I have ever had. I too, was concerned that they may be too salty, but they weren’t. They were moist too! Trader Joe’s has organic turkey patties in their frozen section. They have no fillers or spices, just turkey meat. I used 1 1/2 pkgs. (1 1/2 lbs.) of the turkey patties, thawed, and mixed together with recipe ingredients. I was well pleased, and will definitely make these again. The children ate all of theirs, and they are ages 2, 5 and 7.

    • 21 years ago

    Excellent recipe…my 11 year old son…very picky eater…really enjoyed this. I used Lipton Onion Roasted Garlic dried soup mix…didn’t need to add any other garlic. Took the advice of another reviewer…cooked this very low on the BBQ to make sure it cooked all the way through without burning the outside…great idea. This is a keeper. Thanks Kym22

    • 21 years ago

    This is so awesome. Highly recommended.

    • 21 years ago

    I thought these burgers were quite tasty. I’m giving the recipe four-stars b/c my “meat-lover” husband thought they were just ok.

    • 21 years ago

    We used to eat turkey burgers all the time and I got tired of how flat and boring they were. These were excellent – tasty and juicy! I used 2 lbs of turkey (I could only find 1 lb packs at the store), 2 eggs and 2 heaping tsp of minced garlic and got 10 burgers – I can’t wait to finish them off!

    • 21 years ago

    These were good. They had a little too much flavor. Next time, I will add less pepper and less onion soup mix.

    • 21 years ago

    way way too salty. Tasted like onion soup mix burgers.

    • 21 years ago

    These burgers were too on the soft side for me. My guests ate them and liked them but didn’t think they were that great. More towards a meatloaf taste than a burger taste. The seasonings were overwhelming – I’d cut back on them if I were to make them again. Or I’d use this recipe to make a “turkey loaf”. Cooked nicely on my ‘non-george forman indoor grill’.

    • 21 years ago

    Adds taste to plain old turkey burgers

    • 20 years ago

    Quite good. We do not eat beef in our home, so these were a nice change in pace from chicken breasts!! The onion soup mix adds good flavor. I made some into burgers and some into small meatballs for the kids. I have used both the super-lean and “regular” ground turkey and found that the super-lean had a “cleaner” flavor.

    • 20 years ago

    Great! The only thing I changed was to use 1 lb ground turkey breast and 1/2 lb ground bison. Instead of one whole egg I used 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters. I used reduced sodium soy sauce. Grilled over Kingsford briquets. I grilled on bottom rack with lid open and after browning on both sides moved to the top shelf and closed lid. I didn’t think they were salty at all.

    • 20 years ago

    I’ve made turkey burgers twice based on this recipe. The first time I added just the onion soup packet and soy sauce to 1 lb. of extra lean turkey and they seemed strange. I just cleaned up leftovers from my second adventure and blended the same amount/type of turkey with only the onion soup packet this time and was delighted with the results! One pound of turkey made four large burgers that were served on onion buns along with a baked bean dish! Yum! I’m giving this recipe four stars only because it has ingredients that I don’t feel are necessary…

    • 20 years ago

    This was an excellent recipe and easy to follow. I have only made Turkey Burgers once before and when I made them using this recipe my husband asked me to cook somemore the next day. The burgers were great although I did modify the amount of ingredients and I did use the egg and the burgers were great! Also, if you use the Foreman grill the burgers are ready in half the time. My husband likes his burgers well done so I cooked his for 8 minutes and I cooked mine for 6 to give it a medium taste. I am giving this recipe 5 stars!!!!!

    • 20 years ago

    Very good…my teenage son loved these! Add American or Swiss cheese and bacon (I know…not very healthy)and the normal “blah” turkey burger turns out delicious.

    • 20 years ago

    thanks for the tip … my family just loved my turkey burgers. Its amazing what alittle onion soup will do.

    • 20 years ago

    Nice twist to turkey burgers but a little too salty. I cut the soy sauce back to 1/2 T. and it tasted much better.

    • 20 years ago

    These were so awesome! We will definitely be making these again.

    • 19 years ago

    I’ve tried turkey burgers a couple of times before and they haven’t worked out. I decided to give these a shot when ground turkey was on sale. These were ridiculously easy. I used a countertop skillet that is plugged into the wall to cook my burgers, basically frying them, and they cooked right through and stayed together, both of which were previously challenges. The flavors were good (I used low sodium soy sauce) and my family decided they might even prefer them to traditional beef burgers. I’ll definitely be making these again.

    • 19 years ago

    These weren’t as tasty as I thought they would be. They certainly don’t taste like a proper beef hamburger, but they’re not bad. I probably won’t make these again. (A nice hamburger dressing is low-cal Hellman’s mayonnaise, prepared English Coleman’s mustard, a little ketchup, and some finely chopped onion. Mix it all, and spread it on the bottom bun. It’s yummy!)

    • 19 years ago

    I’m not a big turkey burger fan but my husband is and he thinks these were the best we’ve made thus far. I used an onion and mushroom soup mix and I put them in a non-stick skillet which kept them together nicely. For turkey burgers I think they were tasty and easy.

    • 19 years ago

    Very good. My husband and I very much enjoyed these. Thank you.

    • 19 years ago

    Did not go over well especially with the kids. They just did not like the taste at all. I thought they were okay but a little on the salty side. Sorry.

    • 19 years ago

    Excellent… added a small amount of breadcrumbs to firm up the mixture.

    • 19 years ago

    This is a good basic idea… i do agree that if you use all of the soy sauce and all of the soup mix it is too salty. I cut back on both and they were delicious! Everyones tastebuds are different!

    • 19 years ago

    This was a great, very easy recipe, and I loved the topping suggestions…the sprouts and avocado were fantastic on these burgers! The only change I made was adding about 1/2 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs to bind a bit better. My 1 year old, 3 year old and husband all loved them! I highly recommed this recipe and will make them again! Thanks so much!!

    • 19 years ago

    Instead of soy sauce I used Worcestershire and only half of the onion soup that was called for. They came out really good!

    • 19 years ago

    The kid loved this!

    • 19 years ago

    These were very tasty, however with the onion soup mix AND the soy sauce it was way too salty. I either use half the onion mix or leave out the soy sauce and it’s perfect!

    • 18 years ago

    This recipe was quick,easy and very tasty. I did not add the soy sauce and it was still very delicious. My family loved them. Of course I had to add cheese to the top of the kids burgers which made them taste even better. Thanks for sharing!

    • 18 years ago

    I made turkey burgers once before and my husband just didn’t like them. So this time he wasn’t looking forward to eating them again. I told him a good recipe will change his mind, and yours proved me right!! The only thing that I would change the next time is to cut back on the egg, or crush some crumbs into the mixture so that it won’t be as wet. This recipe is a keeper!

    • 18 years ago

    Since the hubby is a MEAT eater…he likes his 100% angus beef burgers…he wasn’t too keen on the idea of me making a turkey burger. I liked it…tasted great and healthier, unfortunately hubby didn’t like all that much. So, we compromised on the rating. Thanks for the post.

    • 18 years ago

    This was my very first time making turkey burgers and I have to say they were absolutely great!!! My husband enjoyed them VERY much. I read the other reviews and decided to use only a 1/2 teaspoon of the soy sauce and crumbled a slice of wheat bread in my mixure and it wasn’t salty at all…PERFECT. I will be eating turkey burgers forever…THANKS

    • 18 years ago

    I made this recipe for my meat eating boys (and hubby) and they loved it. They actually thought that it was beef. My husband ate three burgers by himself. This is definately a “KEEPER”. Thanks so much for this recipe. One thing I would like to suggest is that if you like to have more of a beef flavor used the “beef and onion soup mix” this helps the burger taste more like beef.

    • 18 years ago

    Yummy! Took the suggestions to halve the onion mix and soy sauce, and added some breadcrumbs to add more constistency, since I used the egg.

    • 18 years ago

    I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my husband having a second TURKEY burger. Will definitely use this recipe again!

    • 18 years ago

    Delicious! My husband and I both loved these burgers. I used only half of the onion soup mix, 2 teaspoons of Worcest. instead of the soy sauce, and only an egg white. I also added a small amount of bread crumbs.

    • 18 years ago

    Served these with melted swiss, grilled onions and peppered mayo. What a burger, the new household favorite!

    • 18 years ago

    We love this recipe at our house. I don’t put in the soy sauce because the onion soup makes them salty enough. I also throw in a handful of oatmeal. Nobody knows it’s there and it makes them hold together well…and adds a bit of fiber. Good eats!

    • 18 years ago

    this was good, but it was very much like a meatloaf recipe I use. It was very tasty, but more like having miniature meatloaves than hamburgers.

    • 18 years ago

    A++++++Zowie! This was so meaty and tasty. I did add a slice of sharp chedder cheese to each patty and sauted onions on top of that. I also added a smidge of bread crumbs. Turned out so good we did not even need buns. Yum! We will keep this around. Thank you so much for this post.

    • 18 years ago

    This is a winner. I put in half the onion soup and added the oatmeal. Delicious!

    • 18 years ago

    GREAT TASTE. Made them as written minus the soy sauce. This is a good recipe for people to try who don’t like turkey burgers. The soup mix really helps to disguise the flavor. Will be making these often.

    • 18 years ago

    Great flavor! I’ve already made these 2 times. Only change was to use Worchestershire sauce instead of soy sauce since I was out of soy and they still were moist and flavorful. This recipe is a keeper.

    • 18 years ago

    My husband and I both LOVED these turkey burgers. We have been trying to eat healthier and we both like turkey burgers but agreed that they need a little “kick”. We used the 99% fat free turkey burger and instead of the soy sauce we used 2 tablespoons of A-1 steak sauce. YUMMIE!!

    • 18 years ago

    This was our first time using ground turkey. We are trying to eat more healthy foods and the ground turkey was on sale $2.49/lb, so we bought 10 pounds. It wasn’t what I was expecting, however if was very good. I made a double batch and the leftovers are gone, so the family enjoyed them. I do think I will try a few other recipes though for something with a little more zip.

    • 18 years ago

    what a pleasent way to spruce up turkey burgers these burgers make eating turkey worth while for me what a health replacement for hamburger

    • 18 years ago

    The mix is absolutely liquidy…it needed something to hold it together. The recipe states to cook for 20 minutes, however, my burgers started burning after just 8 minutes. Even with the seasonings, it still isn’t very good tasting. Skip this recipe!

    • 17 years ago

    very good recipe! have tried other turkey burger recipes, but this is by far the best. like other reviewers, used worchestershire instead of soy and also threw in some oatmeal to help bind it. I used only the egg white. Very flavorful and the burgers stayed together instead of falling apart (which happens with a lot of other recipes).

    • 17 years ago

    excelent. easy and tasty.
    I added the oatmeal and used a whole egg. Would use half the onion soup next time.

    • 17 years ago

    I use a little less garlic then it calls for but this is definitely a family favorite!!!!

    • 17 years ago

    Actually 4 1/2. Pretty tasty! I was going to add some oats, like others, but forgot. I didn’t add the egg, but stuck to the rest of the recipe. Not too salty, IMO! Definitely use a little lower temp. I used a non-stick grill with a lid to keep moisture in, as turkey breast tends to be a bit dry. My only gripe is that I have to mix it with my hands- yuck! (wouldn’t mix well otherwise) Thanks!

    • 17 years ago

    These burgers had a very good flavor. I only had a pound of meat but I liked it because they were very juicy. A nice change from the traditonal beef burger patty.

    • 17 years ago

    Wow! Loved them! Did the soy and worchestershire sauce, half the onion soup mix and 1/2 cup or so of oatmeal with egg white. I won’t be buying frozen anymore…we had a mushy recipe before, so I got the guts to try again after reading the reviews. Thanks!

    • 17 years ago

    Absouletly wonderful. Didn’t have onion soup mix so I added dried onions and a bit of onion salt. These turned out very tasty, just as good as a hamburger.

    • 17 years ago

    My husband called from work and asked if I would make turkey burgers for lunch. We make turkey burgers quite often, but thought I would look for a variation. I quickly went to Allrecipes and came across this recipe. I did add the egg and 1/3 cup oatmeal, 1/3 packet onion mix, a little soy, A1, and worchestershire sauce (1 tsp ea), and then topped with white cheddar last minute or so. I then topped with sliced avocado. They were delicious! The secret ingredient is the onion soup mix! Thanks for sharing.

    • 17 years ago

    These were excellent. I add chopped onions and garlic instead of the garlic salt. Also, a bit of oregano, tyme and parsley! Thanks

    • 17 years ago

    What a delicious recipe!!! My boyfriend absolutely loved this because he said it tasted like homemade meatloaf. It was extremely easy to make and I didn’t even have to change one thing! This recipe is definitely a keeper!!!

    • 17 years ago

    Greate taste. Fast and easy. A keeper.

    • 17 years ago

    Easy and quite good. I made them into meatballs and fried them up in a tiny bit of veggie oil in my cast iron skillet. Delish!

    • 17 years ago

    Very tasty, very easy, very enjoyable. The onion soup added a great taste to the turkey.

    • 17 years ago

    Very flavorful…I almost forgot it was turkey. I didn’t use the egg and it still held together nicely.

    • 17 years ago

    These were really, really good and so easy to make!!!

    • 17 years ago

    These were the best turkey burgers ever!!!

    • 17 years ago

    Too strong of a flavor. Would have been better to just add salt and pepper to the meat.

    • 17 years ago

    Quick and easy version. I made mine with ground turkey breast, which is a little drier. I put the soup mix, soy, egg, spices into my mini-chopper first. Ground it up, then added some fresh parsley from my garden for color, and gave it a quick pulse. Finally I mixed it all into the turkey and let it sit for a half hour. Very tastey.

    • 17 years ago

    This recipe was very delicious. My family is a new comer to turkey burgers and are looking for fresh ideas with ground turkey. I used worsteshire sauce instead of soy sauce (due to preference in taste) and they were absolutely fabulous. In the future I will try liquid smoke flavoring and hickory smoke flavoring. Thank you for such a versatile recipe!!!

    • 17 years ago

    These are really AWESOME burgers. I used Worcestershire Sauce as another reviewer had suggested and they came out super yummy. We did use only a pound of meat instead of the half a pound as suggested. This is our second time to make this recipe and it will be a keeper as far as our family is concerned.

    • 17 years ago

    Great recipe, that leaves room for personalflair. I’ll never go back to the frozen turkey burgers. I cooked mine in a grill pan & sauteed some onions & mushrooms and ate sans bun…yum!

    • 17 years ago

    So good and so easy. Instead of the soy sauce, I used 1/2 tsp of worcestershire. I cooked the burgers in a cast iron skillet for about 25 minutes, covered. I also put pepper jack on top. We will definitely be having this one again!

    • 17 years ago

    I thought these were on the plain side. I didn’t like the textue the egg gave the burger.

    • 17 years ago

    A little dry, but very tasty!

    • 17 years ago

    Wow, my first time making a turkey burger and I may never eat hamburger again. This was exceptionally good. As other reviewers did; I used low sodium soy sauce and halved it and used worchestshire sauce as well. Guestimated on the spices. I know for a fact I added more black pepper. Instead of BBQing, I just cooked it on the stove top. At the end added some muenster cheese as it was all that I had. Yummy!

    • 17 years ago

    These were absolutely wonderful!!! We love to use turkey, but always have a hard time keeping it moist. This was not the case for these. A keeper for sure!!!

    • 17 years ago

    I use ground turkey a lot – but generally only if it’s half drowned in tomato sauce. I don’t the guts to use it on its own, sure it will be dry and boring. This burger proves my fears wrong – it’s moist and packed with flavor. I’d only suggest one change, cut the soy sauce to 1 T. so the flavor isn’t overpowering. Thanks for a great turkey burger!

    • 17 years ago

    These were really quite good. All my family liked them, which is unusual (5 picky kids!) I made them exactly per recipe, but did not make burgers out of them;instead I used them for meatballs. Will def make again – thanks for the recipe!

    • 17 years ago

    With every bite, my husband said, these are great. Tried this recipe with a little less onion soup (as my brand is too salty), used egg whites and it was amazing and super simple. I typically go for the fresh basil, parsley, bread crumbs, soya sauce yet this was great. Thanks

    • 17 years ago

    This was a yummy turkey burger. As my hubby was grilling them he kept asking if they were beef. They had a fantastic flavor and they whole family devoured them. Thanks Kym.

    • 17 years ago

    We loved this recipe! Instead of using onion soup mix, I used a “chipotle pepper marinade” spice packet from McCormick. I also added feta cheese and used crushed up triscuits as a substitute for breadcrumbs. As one reviewer suggested, I cooked them on low heat to ensure they got done! My husband and I both loved them-great flavor-didn’t even need any condiments! Thanks!

    • 17 years ago

    I followed the recipe exactly and they were great!

    • 17 years ago

    What a great twist to a popular favorite! I did not change a thing. I did cook them stove top on medium. We used whole wheat buns and low fat swiss and topped with roasted onions that were roasting with sweet potato french fries. So good!

    • 17 years ago

    GREAT. I have no suggestions. These are perfect.

    • 17 years ago

    Great! A new replacement for traditional hamburgers! We added caramelized onions and swiss chesse. Good recipe!
