  2. Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions, shaping each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick, creating a slight indentation in the center of each.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat or preheat a grill to medium-high.
  4. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove patties from heat and let them rest for a minute. Serve on hamburger buns with toppings.
