    Can substitute yellow onions for Vidalia onions.

    Used ground beef and served over rice. It was easy and had a nice flavor for such a short ingredient list. This really smoked up my kitchen and my windows were frozen shut. Might be easier to just break the meat up into crumbles as it cooks. Less char that way but also less smoke.

    Delicious but a little dry with turkey. The onion sauce is so good - def will be using it for other recipes. I look forward to trying it again with beef or a more fatty ground turkey.

    These were a hit with adults and kids! I did add a teaspoon or so of a spice mix to the ground turkey (nutritional yeast + herbs blend) because I worried the burgers would be bland. Served with steamed broccoli and marinated beans.

    I've made these a couple times but have substituted frozen beef patties (that I let sit out while slicing the onion) and they are so tasty given how few ingredients and how little work goes into them. I've enjoyed them with mashed potatoes and in a bed of sheet pan roasted mushrooms and spinach.

    I used ground beef because that's what I had on hand. They were good and a nice way to have a bunless burger. I'll make again.

    These were a nice alternative to a grilled burger, nothing earth shattering but a good weeknight dinner. I added 16 oz of cremini mushrooms to the onions which was a nice addition. Will probably repeat just because they are so easy to whip up.

    Honestly, I expected the turkey burgers to be rather dry and flavorless when tasted without the onions, but they were actually really good, and we loved the onions.

    Very easy to make and family enjoyed them...so that's a win in my books.

    These were fine? Good, not great. I think I still prefer a beef burger, but for a turkey burger, this wasn't bad. We served it over potato buns instead of rice though. Maybe that affected it?

    Oh my gosh these are spectacular!

    A keeper just the way it is written, the turkey burgers remain tender, not dry, and the onions in Worcestershire are an excellent foil. The whole family enjoyed these, I'll be making this recipe again and again.
