- Place the burger mixture into a large bowl. Form a large ball, then divide into 4 patties. Pick up each ball in your hands and form a smooth ball, and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the burger patty down to create a 3 ½ inch diameter patty with about a 5/8-inch thickness. Continue until all the patties are made. (See notes on burger formation).
