Notes

- Preheat your griddle to 400 degrees F for the best results.
- Use a spatula, burger press, or scraper, along with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Aim for 80% meat and 20% fat in your turkey burger patty.
- Achieve a softer patty with crispy edges by adding eggplant puree to the meat mixture and smashing the meatball within the first 30 seconds on the griddle.
- Use vegetable or olive oil instead of butter for turkey burgers.
- Flip your burgers only once to retain moisture and juices.
- Total cooking time for turkey smash burgers is approximately 15-20 minutes.
