In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey and Indian Spice blend until well integrated. Form the turkey into four 4-ounce patties, adding a thumb-print dimple in the center of each one to allow for even cooking.

Grill or skillet-cook the burgers for approximately 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat or until they are cooked through with no remaining pink and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
