In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overworking the mixture to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet or grill pan with olive oil spray and preheat it over medium heat.
Place the turkey patties on the skillet or grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
While the burgers cook, prepare your toppings: wash lettuce leaves and slice the tomato.
Toast the whole wheat buns if desired for added flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked turkey patty on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy turkey burgers!
