Reviews
I’d like to know what type of green olives were used. I had a higher end olive and used the amount directed and I didn’t really taste olives. I suppose if I made these again, I’d use double the amount. Love olives so was a bit disappointed. I did taste cumin.
Delicious and quick! A new healthier go-to for my husband and I when we are craving a burger!
It was okay. You could really taste the cumin, but not the olives. I am thinking use a mix of olives and reduce the cumin would help. It was not our favorite.
it was good .
The cumin was really gross.
too bland!
This was the best turkey buger I have ever tasted. It totally makes the turkey taste more like beef. I can’t wait to cook it for my daughter. I added a bit of low fat chese adn yum Yum Yum. It was the best.
These burgers were just ok. It is really hard to infuse flavor into a turkey burger. These make a valiant effort, but it is still a turkey burger. The trade-off is you get fewer calories.
Ahh…..it was just ok, but since it is a healthy version of a burger, it was as good as I guess it can be.
One of the most delicious burgers I have ever had, and my boyfriend loved it too. I used ground turkey and green olives stuffed with garlic, and I broiled it in the oven since I didn’t have a grill or grill pan. The fusion of flavors was so mouthwatering. It was so huge that I could barely fit in my mouth! Extremely satisfying and really hit the spot.
