I really liked this burger! As always,with every recipe that calls for it, I added extra garlic and it was awesome! Will definitely make these again.

This burger tasted like a turkey burger, without the benefits of it actually being a turkey burger. I think it was the basil. Oh well, I won't be making this again.

I was so excited about this recipe, how easy it was, and the reviews it got. So, I made turkey burgers and regular burgers, using this recipe. First i tried eating a turkey burger. It was okay, but I really didn't like it. Thinking, maybe it just doesn't work well with Turkey, I tried a hamburger. Did NOT like the taste at all! My husband usually raves about my cooking and new recipes, saying "this is the best ____ ever". He didn't this time. Neither of us like the basil flavor at all. Interesting, but will not ever make them again.

These were very tasty! Use fresh basil, it makes a big difference in the flavor. I melted a slice of mozzerella cheese on them and made a little garlic mayo. Will definitely make again.

Everyone liked them and they were easy to make. The oil kept them moist, but also made more flare ups on the grill. Thanks!

I followed the directions exactly and these are now our new favorite.They are so moist and juicy.I wasn't sure how they would taste with basil and oil but they were fantastic. Try these burgers, you will love them.

I guess you need to use extra EXTRA lean beef. I used 80% lean ground chuck and just 1 Tbl olive oil per pound, and my entire grill was a flaming inferno within 4 minutes... I'll skip the oil altogether next time.

Instead of the old ketchup and mustard, my roommate and I mixed up some pesto mayo to go with the Italian flavors, and it was delicious.

These burgers certainly tasted great and are not your ordinary burgers. We didn't even need ketchup when eating it since the natural flavor from the meat was so enriching. I switched up the recipe a little bit: to enhance the garlic flavor, I used garlic powder instead of the garlic called for in the recipe (about 2 tablespoons was good). I also added two tablespoons of onions, which added both flavor and texture. One thing that I did also was refrigerate the meat for about half an hour to an hour. This way, the meat had time to absorb in all the flavor from the individual components that I added in. When cooking, just tack on an extra one or two minutes to time on the grill. It came out great!

These were pretty bland as is. I followed the recipe as written minus 1/3 of the salt, then tasted the meat (yes...raw). Eh. It wasn't until I added cumin, paprika, italian seasoning, worcestershire sauce, Montreal steak seasoning and cayenne that I found it flavorful. Unfortunately, the man liked it. So that means one day I have to recreate what I did.

I made this recipe for company, and we all loved it (even the kids!). Don't know if it would work to not use as much oil, as having 16 burgers on the grill with all of that oil really made a smokey problem. My husband had trouble with the smoke in his eyes, and the burgers were done a little more than we usually prefer.

My husband and I love these burgers. Now I buy a bunch of ground beef, throw everything in the mixer and then make patties to freeze. That way we always have them ready and available when we are in the mood for a good burger. Delicious!

I've made these burgers twice now on the outdoor grill and they are the best I've ever made, my husband loves them. Fabulous flavor and very satisfying. I cut the salt down slightly but other than that I follow the recipe exactly.
