     Don't eat the Bun! Use a lettuce wrap. - 8/20/13

     I didn';t try this reicpe but after looking at the calories I won't. Almost 400 caloires. I can eat a veggie burger for way less calories and be completely satistifed. I can add tons of veggies and a bun for less than 300 calories. - 8/20/13

     Looks good but you want to lighten it? Try a Sandwich Thin at 100 cal. and 22 g. carbs instead of the recommended bun (170 cal.) and use 2 slices ultra-thin cheese Instead of the serving size of three slices to save another 40-45 cal. (Sargento packages several cheeses this way.) - 5/24/15

     The burger was pretty dry and needed extra pesto for moistness. I would not make it again because the calories outweigh the benefits. - 7/14/14

     Too much sodium from the pesto, cheese. 93% lean ground beef has the same calories as 93% ground turkey, is juicier and tastes better. Adding 1 ounce of mozzarella on each burger adds a lot of sodium & fat. You could use shredded cheese to get the same taste, less calories. - 5/24/15

     I would take only 3 oz. turkey meat, make it an open face sandwich, and pile on tomatoe and cucumber slices. Will try it. - 8/22/13

     I made this for a family get together and they loved it! I had to leave the cheese off, I'm not able to eat dairy, so that did cut a few calories off! - 7/14/14

     Okay if you like turkey, which I find blander than bland. I added soy sauce to the turkey for flavor. - 5/3/21
