     This was awesome! But don't forget that the Nutritional Info listed does not include a bun - so make sure to account for that in your planner if you plan to serve this on a bun. - 11/30/11

     If you use reduced fat swiss they are good too. The cheese adds alot of calories and salt. The grill seasoning also adds close to 500mg of salt. I used no salt Mrs. dash. The burger without cheese is only 221 calories. - 1/10/13

     Counts would be off... comparing recipe w/ ingredients details... 1/4 lb feta is not the same as 1 cup crumbles. 1 1/3 lb turkey is not equal to 16 oz. 1 Tbsp grill seasoning is not 4 tsp, either. And 2 tsp oregano or 2 Tbsp? Anyway, the recipe still sounds good and I'll give it a try! - 5/11/09

     For all the women out there: this is an awesome way to sneak in some extra iron into your meal. - 10/18/08

     This recipe has an awful lot of sodium will have modified changes. - 2/5/14

     So much sodium? I am sure a lot of it comes from the feta. - 2/6/14

     This sounds very good until you say the recipe has 20 grams of fat. That is way out of porportion to the carbs and protein. Not helpful to weight loss. The carbs are too few, the fat too much. The protein is just right. I would have to FIX that before I made it up. - 2/5/14

     I loved the recipe, but the sodium is way out my range! I had to leave out the feta and used fresh spices for my turkey! - 2/5/14

     Even my children loved these burgers. I substituted lean ground beef since my husband doesn't like ground poultry and topped them with part-skim Swiss. Delicious! - 4/26/11

     Sounds really good. I will be adding this to my "to make" list. However, I may have to do some adjusting of things because of sodium count. - 9/22/19
