Article: Find a skillet that's large enough to hold your 3 or 4 patties without crowding them, and place it on the stove. Turn the heat to medium-high, and add 1 tablespoon (approximately 30 ml) of olive oil or canola oil. Heat the oil until it starts to shimmer, which typically takes 1 to 2 minutes. Instead of a skillet or frying pan, you can also use a griddle to cook the turkey burgers. If you prefer, you can use a non-stick cooking spray in place of the oil. You can make sure that the pan is hot enough to add the burgers by placing your hand over it. If you can feel the heat, it's ready for the burgers. Once the skillet is hot for cooking, place the burgers patties in the pan. Make sure that they're not crowded too closely together. Cook the patties for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, or until the bottoms are brown. To check if the bottoms of the burgers are brown, use a metal spatula to carefully lift an edge so you can take a peek. Once the bottoms are brown, use the metal spatula to carefully flip the burgers to the other side. Allow them to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes on the other side until it is brown and the burgers are cooked through. Turkey burgers are cooked all the way through when their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 74 degrees Celsius). Have a meat thermometer on hand, so you can check your burgers to see if they're done. Like a classic cheeseburger, your turkey burgers can become even more delicious if you melt some cheese on them. If you are a fan of cheese on your burgers, place a slice of the cheese of your choice on the burger about 1 minute before it will be done. You can use any type of cheese that you like on your turkey burger, but American, cheddar, swiss, and gouda are tasty options. Instead of sliced cheese, you can sprinkle shredded cheese on your burgers. It usually melts more quickly than slices, though, so you can wait until 30 seconds before you're going to take the burgers out of the pan to add it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Place the patties in the skillet and brown the bottoms. Flip the burgers and cook another 5 minutes. Melt some cheese on the burgers if desired.
Article: Each institution has a different protocol in place for dealing with an incident and filing a report. Follow any instructions that accompany the forms. Each organization uses a different format, so pay attention to the guidelines. In some cases you're responsible for filling out a form issued by your institution. In other cases you'll be asked to type or write up the report on your own. Your form may have blanks for you to fill out with information about the incident. If not, start the report with a sentence clearly stating the following basic information: The time, date and location of the incident (be specific; write the exact street address, etc.). Your name and ID number. Names of other members of your organization who were present Describe what brought to you at the scene of the incident. If you received a call, describe the call and note what time you received it. Write an objective, factual sentence describing what occurred. For example, you could write that you were called to a certain address after a person was reported for being drunk and disorderly. Note that you should not write what you think might have happened. Stick to the facts, and be objective. Write it the same day as the incident if possible. If you wait a day or two your memory will start to get a little fuzzy. You should write down the basic facts you need to remember as soon as the incident occurs. Do your report write-up within the first 24 hours afterward.
