Combine ground turkey, cheese, onion powder, garlic salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix gently. Shape into 6 burgers (3/4-inch thick).
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook burgers in the skillet over medium heat for 6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
