Steps:
- Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
- IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
- IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
- IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
- Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
- Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Evenly divide meat into 4 portions. With a light touch, gently form each one into a ball, then shape into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. With thumb, make a 1/4-inch-deep indentation in the center of each (this prevents burgers from getting rounded tops during grilling). Transfer to a plate; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to 1 day.
- Heat grill to high (it should be difficult to hold your hand above the grates). Moisten a folded paper towel with vegetable oil; grasp with tongs, and quickly wipe over the grates.
- Generously season patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Place patties on grill; cover, and cook to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve burgers on buns with desired toppings.
Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Use a blend of 80% lean ground beef and 20% fat for a juicy and flavorful burger. Freshly ground beef is always the best option.
- Season the beef simply: Salt and pepper are all you need to enhance the natural flavor of the beef. Don't over-season it, or you'll mask the taste of the meat.
- Form the patties gently: Use your hands to gently form the beef into patties. Avoid overworking the meat, or it will become tough.
- Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Flip the burgers only once: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry and tough. Flip them only once, when the underside is nicely browned.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness: The safest way to cook a burger is to use a meat thermometer to ensure that it has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the burgers rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender burger.
Conclusion:
Making the perfect hamburger is all about using high-quality ingredients and cooking them properly. With a little practice, you'll be able to make burgers that are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every time.
