Keep in mind that even when you take turkey off off the heat, the meat is still cooking and will continue to cook for a few minutes.

Experiment with other spices if you like certain flavors. Add ground sage, oregano, and rosemary to mix things up. You can also add 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

You can also cook these burgers in the oven under the broiler. Turn on the broiler and let the oven heat completely before cooking. Using the grill is another good alternative. Heat up a grill to medium high.

You can lay slices of cheese on the burgers after they’ve been flipped. To melt the cheese, cover the pan with a lid. Season the burgers with additional spices to form a “blackened”-style crust. Don’t overcook the burgers or they’ll get dry pretty quickly, since turkey has a low fat content.

To make it easier to create balls of the same size, use a small ice cream scoop or a measuring cup. Use a pan with high sides to prevent the meatballs from rolling off.
