Add the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs to a mixing bowl. Stir gently until everything is evenly incorporated; avoid overworking the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 patties, each about ½ inch thick. The mixture will be quite wet. Press a shallow indentation into the middle of each patty with your thumb, then transfer the patties to a parchment-lined plate.
Put the patties in the freezer for 20 minutes. This brief chilling period helps them stay intact while cooking.
Grill Method: Clean the grill grates and coat them well with oil. Preheat to medium-high heat. Place the turkey patties on the grill and cook for a few minutes per side, until they reach 160 degrees F.
Skillet Method: Warm the canola oil in a nonstick griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, coat the pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. Once hot, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side.
Oven Method: Bake at 375 F for 25-30 minutes. After baking, sear the patties in a hot pan for 2 minutes on each side.
Place the cooked burgers on hamburger buns and finish with your preferred condiments and toppings.
