In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey breast, egg, cooked quinoa, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the patties tough.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the patties on a bed of greens, in a bun, or alongside your favorite sides.
