These were great! I used extra lean ground turkey but followed everything else as written. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of pesto and the instructions ask for an additional 1/4 of a cup pesto? I used a total of 1/2 cup. It was delicious so I think that I made it right. I made these into sandwiches and added sliced provolone and tomatoes to it. It was a mouth full! Thanks so much for posting!!

Loved these burgers! I was short on time so I used a jared sun dried tomato pesto and doubled the garlic, other than that it was just as directed. Thank you for posting this!

Made exactly as written, these burgers are moist and flavorful. Excellent way to perk up that often-dry extra lean ground beef. I threw some onion slices in the pan as I sauteed the burgers and we ate them straight up; no buns invited. Thanks for posting this keeper!
