I know, I know, they sound weird but trust me on this when I tell you they are really tasty! These burgers are a bit different and a lot healthier for you than most. Try them before you say "eeewwww." Prep time includes the time needed to build the burgers after they are cooked.

These were quite good. The glaze is fantastic. Next time I believe I will serve as the meat entree without a bun with a veggie and rice or potato.

    Okay my rating applies for the GLAZE only. We had premade Turkey Burgers and I wanted to do something extra w/ them so I made the glaze from this recipe. It was a REALLY good glaze that complimented the turkey really well. We ate the burgers on buns w/ tomato and mayo and they were great.

    These were pretty good. The zucchini in the burger mixture kept it pretty moist without it drying out and the glaze was a nice touch.

    These are very moist, tasty burgers. I made them exactly as the recipe instructs, but another time (and I will definitely make them again), I won't baste them with the glaze until just before they are done. For me and the grill I used, the glaze burned giving them a black charcoal coating. I like the garlicky flavor in both the burgers and the glaze. This makes 6 generous patties; I grilled just 2 for us and formed the remainder mixture into 2 small loaves, topped with the leftover glaze and put them in the freezer to bake at a later date.
