To stuff burgers using a burger press
Place a circle of parchment paper at the bottom of the press (make sure it fits nicely into the bottom, even if you have to cut it to fit). Add the turkey mixture to fill the press about half full. Top with another circle of parchment and press the large indent press into the top.
Remove the top press and the parchment. Add some of the cream cheese mixture but don’t fill the indentation all the way. Cover with a little more turkey mixture and place the patty paper back on top of the burger. Use the flat part of the press to even it out. Make sure to seal all the seams to reduce leaks.
Flip the bottom part to the press onto a parchment lined baking sheet and remove the bottom and sides, then remove the bottom circle of parchment.
Repeat with remaining the turkey and filling. You should be able to get 6 to 7 burgers. You can reuse the two circles of parchment over and over to make the burgers.
To stuff by hand
Divide the turkey mixture into 6 even portions. Take about two thirds of each portion and form into a patty with with a well in the center. Fill the well with some of the filling and top with the remaining third of turkey.
Form into a patty, sealing up the sides to cover the filling completely and reduce leaks. Repeat with the remaining portions of turkey and filling.
To cook
Preheat the grill to medium high and brush both sides of the burgers with olive oil. Grill 7 to 8 minutes per side, until the center reaches 165ºF on an instant read thermometer. **You can also pan-fry or air fry the burgers.
Top with crispy bacon and serve on lettuce wraps.
