Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/02/2013 New, easy family fave. To speed things up, I buy store bought fresh pesto. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 06/28/2013 These are excellent! What a nice change from a typical burger. I would serve these to anyone- anytime! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 06/13/2013 This was a quick and delicious dinner. My husband is allergic to walnuts, so I used pine nuts instead. Came out lovely. Also, I added 2T of the pesto to the burgers, because 1T just didn't seem like enough to flavor the entire recipe. So flavorful and yummy! I used half breasts and half thighs and the burgers were very moist. I'll definitely make this again.Martha Stewart Member
