First, make sure you are using very lean meat to decrease shrinkage!. I'd guess about 1/3 cup of meat per patty to make a 4" diameter!. When you flatten the patties make sure the center is THINNER than the rest, that way when they shrink (They like to puff up in the middle) you'll get uniform thickness throughout!. also be careful not to overcook them!. Only a couple of minutes per side should be necessary!. Then remove from heat, cover and let them rest for 5 minutes or so to finish the cooking process!.

This will also depend upon the amount of fat in the meat!. The more fat, the more they will shrink, so you will need to make them bigger if the fat content is high!. I have had really good luck with ground turkey, especially the kind you get at Costco!. It doesn't shrink a lot because turkey meat has less fat than beef!. As far as making your buns, Pampered Chef has a little sandwich press that you can use to make your bread slices or hamburger buns smaller!. It's called a Cut N Seal!. Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would say to take what you would use for a regular burger and separate that into thirds!. Try not to flatten them too much and cook at a lower temperature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
make a deep indent in the middle with your fingers so when it puffs up while cooking it will become level instead of having a hockey puck looking thingWww@FoodAQ@Com
