In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, but do not overwork the meat as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Press a slight indent into the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent the burgers from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the turkey burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C) when checked with a thermometer. Set them aside to rest for a few minutes.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the chipotle mayo. In a small bowl, mix the chopped chipotle peppers, mayonnaise, and lime juice until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet or on a grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on both sides of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half, followed by a turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, like sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad.
