This recipe has potential if you don't make my mistake. I used turkey instead of beef and it was way, way too dry. It was much more dry than a turkey burger or turkey meatballs! I cooked it to 165 with a probe thermometer and then let it rise to turkey eating temperature while resting. :) Even then, it was still much too dry. The texture might be nicer if you use beef. Don't buy expensive beef, though, because all you will taste is BBQ sauce!07/04/09
