Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add a bit of olive oil and water mixture to the pan.
Bring to a simmer and then add in turkey patties. (Make a small indention in the center of the patties to prevent them from puffing up if desired)
Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes.
Uncover and pour off the fat and juice, reserving about 1-2 tablespoons in the skillet.
Continue cooking burgers until done, flipping halfway through once the underside is browned. (Internal tempt. should be at least 165F increase the heat if needed)

Notes
I've made this recipe a few times without pouring off the liquid. It cooks up SUPER JUICY and delicious, however, it doesn't brown much this way. I pour off the juices to get more color. Also cooking it in the juices all the way through and then searing would also work to get a SUPER juicy turkey burger with nice browning on the outside.
