Preheat the grill to 400 degrees.
Mix the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire Sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into four patties and spritz with a little oil on both sides of each burger.
Grill for 5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes or until the burger reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
If desired, top with cheese at the last minute of cooking and melt. Place the burgers on toasted buns and top with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and assorted condiments.

Use ground turkey, not ground turkey breast, as it is too lean, and the burgers are much too dry.
If the burgers are too loose to form patties, add more breadcrumbs to firm them up. Some brands of ground turkey seem to have more moisture in them than others.
To keep the burgers from sticking to the grill, spritz both sides of the patties with oil before grilling. Do not use an unseasoned grill. Just like your cookie sheets, over time, your grill becomes seasoned. See below for seasoning your grill.
If you prefer or don't have an outdoor grill, use a cast iron skillet.
The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Turkey burgers should always be cooked to well done.
If desired, top with your favorite sliced cheese and melt right on the grill for the last couple minutes of cooking.
Top however you like to eat your burgers. For our family, that is lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions (for hubby).
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
