Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 06/09/2018 Followed as if I was Martha and it was delicious!!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 01/17/2018 The recipe worked as described but made the following changes. I adjusted for 1 pound of 93/7 ground turkey, and formed 2 burgers from the mixture. I fried in a cast iron skillet for 3 minutes on medium high, using canola oil (I did not flip the burgers). Then transferred to the broiler on high, second rack for ~10 minutes, until browned and bubbling. Then baked for 5 minutes at 350 F. Let cool 5 minutes before serving (still too hot!). Overall, we were very pleased with the outcome! Thanks Martha. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/25/2017 I have 3 lbs of turkey that i just defrosted. Anyone ever make this recipe as a meatloaf? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/06/2017 My family wasn't thrilled with this burger. Maybe I used too many bread crumbs, but the burgers fell apart and tasted grainy. The flavor itself wasn't bad, though! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/05/2017 Wonderful!!!! Big hit with Everyone!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 07/06/2014 Easy to make, moist and full of favor. Served the burgers on a brioche bun with a slice of tomato and bib lettuce. Great recipe! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 06/20/2014 Very easy to implement recipe. Had all ingredients except Gruyere used Parmesan. I used my outdoor grill with a pizza stone on half the grates and started out the patties on the pizza stone to get them a little more "solid." Worked out very well. Kept the lid closed most of the time, I'd say a combined ten minutes of grate/stone cooking. Very, very tasty burger. Will tweak this for meatballs. Five Nods Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/26/2014 Love this recipe, it is my "go to" burger. I've used Asiago instead of Gruyere, also gives it a nice flavour. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/12/2014 Great recipe! I've made it twice, once as burgers and once as meatballs. Both times they came out mouthwateringly perfect. They are so flavourful that they can be eaten without condiments! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/19/2014 Yum! There is something about scallions and swiss cheeses that just compliment one another so well. Was on the look out for a great Turkey Burger recipe for years….I am glad we finally found one another! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/22/2013 Love this recipe! Tonight I will add Herbes de Provence and substitute shallots for the scallions. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/10/2013 This is my favorite turkey burger to make of many recipes I've tried! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/01/2012 This has been my go-to turkey burger recipe for years! Always, always a hit, even for guests who prefer beef burgers. Its the grated cheese that makes this extra special and moist. If you dont like Gruyere, use Swiss. Also, I substitute the garlic for two teaspoons Herbes de Provance. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/31/2012 This is a new favorite. They are a healthy but still totally delicious alternative burger. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/28/2012 I made these using my "old school" George Foreman grill. Very good. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/05/2011 This is an absolutely wonderful recipe. I use it all the time; and people always ask me for the recipe. I double the recipe, and freeze individual patties for use throughout the month. Highly recommend using the gruyere cheese; it is so worth it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/06/2010 These burgers were so moist and delicious! I toppped them with avocado and arugula. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/03/2010 Looks like grilled zucchini,onion,red pepper and pickles. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/29/2010 I'm wondering what the garnishes on the burger in the photo. It looks like roasted poblano or something. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/29/2010 this truly is the best turkey burger I have ever eaten. Sometimes I substitute the gruyere for monterrey jack or pepper-jack, or whatever I have on hand. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/29/2010 Excellent burger - flavorful and moist. Even my DH who has spurned turkey burgers liked this one! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/29/2010 I have been using ground chicken, instead of turkey, less expensive,( daughter does not care for turkey) and better taste. Use same recipes, really quite good. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/25/2010 I've been looking for a turkey burger that didn't have that weird kinda gamey taste--and I found it! These are wonderful--thank you, Martha! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/21/2010 Great as-IS....if you added ranch dressing, bacon and guacamole, you didn't even make this burger..ARGH! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/22/2010 This is the best turkey burger I have ever had!!! My family loves it too! I always use panko crumbs and ground turkey breast and it turns out great. If I'm out of gruyere cheese, I just leave it out and that works too. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/06/2010 I have tried so many turkey burger recipe and I found my favorite one. I didn't have Gruyere so I used Gorgonzola. I also used Panko bread crumbs-delish!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/08/2009 "Where's the beef?" WHO CARES!!!! This is the best burger all around. Tasty and juicy and absolutely amazing! Try it and you will love it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/23/2009 This is definitely my favorite turkey burger, people love it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/28/2009 This is the turkey burger recipe that I keep coming back to. It's definitely a keeper! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/02/2008 I LOVE these. They are REALLY yummy with reduced fat blue cheese!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/11/2008 I usually make my turkey burgers with turkey stuffing, finely chopped onoins, and salt Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/10/2008 This great, quick and easy recipe is almost the same as my French beef burgers that I used to preparing for years topped with sauteed mushrooms, served without bun and extra Dijon mustard on the side. But using ground turkey au lieu of beef is just as delicious. Thanks Martha for bringing back one of my favorite recipe and turning it healthier! Meme Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/10/2008 These are awesome. I have also made them in to mini as apps and served on mini brioche. Note, don't over-cook! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/10/2008 I like to use low fat shredded cheese, crumbled bacon and add a packet of Hidden Valley fat free ranch powdered dressing to the turkey breast. Then I top it with guacamole instead of ketchup. You could also top with BBQ sauce for nice alternative. Make extras, wrap individually in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze. You can microwave them after you have already grilled them and don't lose any of the flavor. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/04/2008 I made this burger and it was so tasty but I'm not picky. On the other hand my family is super pick and everyone loved it and I'll be puting this one in the rotaion. Nice health alternative to burgers.Martha Stewart Member
