Default Turkey burgers fall apart?

You don't say how you're cooking them. Since I've had them fall apart
on me when using a grill, I nipped that problem by using a rack...the
type used to grill fish. It holds the burgers in. Don't add too much
solid ingredients to the meat, too. That causes all sorts of burgers
to fall apart. And don't pay attention to the ignorant berk who said
they're falling apart because they have too much FAT in them. We all
know how lean ground turkey is and often NEEDS some sort of moisture or
fat to be ADDED.
