How to make Turkey Burgers:
Step 1: Put the turkey, breadcrumbs, onion powder, egg, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined.
Step 2: Using clean hands, shape about 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture into a patty about 2 cm (¾ inch) thick and put the patty on a plate. Repeat until all the turkey mixture has been used.
Step 3: Grease a large frying pan with cooking spray or butter.
Step 4: Put the pan on a stove or hotplate and turn the heat on to medium.
Step 5: When the pan is hot, put 3 to 4 patties in the pan.
Step 6: Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip using a spatula. Cook the patties for another 4 to 5 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Step 7: Using a spatula, move the cooked patties to a clean plate.
Step 8: Repeat Step 5 to 7 until all the patties are cooked.
Step 9: Toast the bun halves in a toaster or oven until lightly toasted.
Step 10: Put ½ tablespoon of each ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard onto the cut side of one bun half.
Step 11: Put one turkey patty on top of the condiments. Then put one slice of each cheese, tomato, and onion, and one piece of lettuce on top of the patty. Put the other half of the bun cut-side-down on top of the lettuce.
Step 12: Repeat Step 10 and 11 until all the burgers are made.
