Grill the turkey burgers for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the patties are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The surface should be nicely browned and slightly cracked, with juices starting to rise to the top. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the ground almonds lightly before adding them to the mixture.
Don't overmix the turkey mixture, as this can result in tough burgers.
Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and a dollop of plain yogurt or a spicy mayo.
