Yummy! I love the ginger and orange juice flavors. I've been making my own turkey burgers for a while now, and this is a refreshing change.01/29/10

Best turkey burger ever and loved the special sauce! The only changes I made to the recipe were to add a few fresh thyme leaves and some salt and pepper to the turkey mixture before shaping it into patties. I also put the patties in the freezer for 30 mins before cooking so they would hold together better. I topped them with baby spinach leaves and tomato slices, and served with yam fries. Can't wait to have this again!12/12/09
