In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef, whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Ensure they are flat and even to cook uniformly.
Spray a non-stick skillet lightly with olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Cook the beef patties in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the low-sodium beef broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth to make a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering beef broth, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Return the beef patties to the skillet with the gravy, spooning some of the gravy over the patties, and let them warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the beef patties with the gravy poured over them and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
