- Wet your hands and form the mixture into 8 patties. Arrange the patties on a plate spread with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Grill the burgers or alternatively, arrange the burgers on an oiled, non-stick baking sheet, lightly spray the tops with oil and broil.
- To sauté, add a teaspoon or 2 of oil to a non-stick skillet. Cook the burgers over medium heat until crusty.
