To cook, you can grill the turkey burgers over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, they can be pan-fried in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat for a similar amount of time. Baking in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, is another effective method. Ensure they are cooked through before serving.
