In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, cooked quinoa, and unflavored whey protein powder. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce into the meat mixture. Stir or knead with your hands until all elements are fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are of even thickness to allow for uniform cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juiciness.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the burger patties on whole-grain buns with your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and sliced pickles, for a balanced meal.
