Bring water to a boil. Stir in couscous and turn off heat immediately. Cover and set aside to absorb all the water. This takes about 5 minutes. If grilling the burgers, preheat grill to medium-high.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, but not smoking, stir in onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add Herbs de Provence and salt and pepper to taste . Stir to blend, then remove from heat. When mixture is calm, stir into the couscous. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Break up turkey and add to couscous. Stir well to combine, but do not overmix. Lightly oil the palms of your hands and shape into 6 patties.
Stovetop: Coat a large heavy skillet lightly with oil, and set over medium-high heat for 2 minutes to heat the pan. Put in turkey patties, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes. Turn to cook on the other side for 2 minutes.
Cover and continue to cook until lightly browned about 4 minutes more.
Grilling: Oil the grill rack and grill the patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side. Be careful to turn them gently so they don't break open.
