<strong> On the stovetop</strong>: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Place the patties in the skillet and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature of the turkey burger reaches 165˚, about 5 more minutes. If you like cheese on your burgers, add it during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt.
