Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)

How to Gauge Grill Heat Without a Thermometer

Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:

• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds

Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your turkey burgers on the grate and cook them for 5–6 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Brush the buns with oil, and toast them on the cooler side of the grate for 2 to 3 minutes until toasted and warm.
While your burgers are cooking, put 1 tbsp. of cranberry sauce on each bottom bun and 2 tbsp. of stuffing on each top bun.
Place your turkey burgers on the bottom buns, drizzle them with gravy, add the top bun and serve immediately.

Here’s How to Handle a Flare-Up Flare-ups happen to even the most skilled grill masters. Flare-ups are just fat rendering and dripping onto the coals. With a long-handled, metal spatula, simply move your food to the other side of the grate until the flames subside.
