Mix Thoroughly: Use your hands or a spoon to mix all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly distributed.
Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making sure they hold together firmly.
Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat to ensure it’s hot before cooking the patties.
Cook Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are fully cooked through.

Notes

You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey if preferred.
For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the mixture.
Ensure the patties are cooked fully to avoid any foodborne illnesses; using a meat thermometer is recommended.
Feel free to customize toppings with pickles, onions, or avocado slices for extra flavor.
If grilling, brush buns with butter and lightly toast them on the grill for added texture and taste.
