Turkey shishka burger mix
Pat into a smooth even shape, divide into four and refrigerate at least one hour.
Dividing, chilling and forming
With wet hands form smooth patties about three quarters of an inch thick; cover and refrigerate until the grill is hot, about half an hour.
  • oil
Grill on clean, well-oiled grates, a touch of oil on the burger if wanted, about 4 minutes, giving a half turn at 2 minutes for grill marks.
Flip when the side looks cooked about halfway up; cook about 4 to 5 minutes more, until a slight crack shows a hint of moisture welling on top.
