| Happy Memorial Day! Tips for Grilling Burgers Ground meats are notorious for harboring bacteria. Make sure to cook ground beef, ground veal, ground buffalo, ground pork and ground turkey to 165F. If you are lucky enough to have the butcher grind beef for you, you can go for a medium (150F) or medium-well burger (160F). - Ground meats with high percentage of fat (85% or 93% lean) will produce juicier burgers.
- Make burger patties ¾”-1” thick to prevent them from drying out.
- Also, don’t press the burger patties into the grill grate with the spatula. This causes juices to leak out, producing a dryer burger.
