2. Shape: Divide into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
3. Cook: Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat (lightly oiled). Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side until reaching 165°F.

Notes
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix just until combined to keep the patties from becoming tough.
- Prep Tip: Refrigerating formed patties for 30 minutes before cooking helps them hold their shape better.
- Temperature: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure turkey burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Allergy Swap: If allergic to peanuts, almond butter or sunflower seed butter are excellent alternatives.
- Storage: Keep patties and sauce in separate containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
