Handle the meat as little as possible - the more you work it, the tougher it gets.
Gently shape (don't firmly press) mixture into burgers about 3/4 inch thick.
Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the center of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Place burgers on the grill, close lid & BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 - 8 minutes per side.

Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!
