use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Use an accurate digital instant-read food thermometer to check the temperature throughout the patty. The temperature must reach 160°F. Digital food thermometers are designed to be used toward the end of the cooking time and register a temperature in about ten seconds. They must penetrate about 1 inch into the food.

Detailed explanation-2: -For ground meat, the USDA recommends a temperature of between 160˚ to 165˚ as the minimum. This will give you a well-done beef burger, meaning there aren’t any signs of pink in the center.
