Mix gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
Form into 4 equal patties.
Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high and lightly oil it.
Cook burgers 5–6 minutes per side, until browned and internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
Toast the burger buns while patties cook.
Assemble burgers with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Serve in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
