Turkey Burger/Meatloaf

Adapted from Food Network Bobby Flay Turkey Kofte.
I made this with the idea of making Turkey Burgers but it came out more like Turkey Meatloaf. Great flavor but again, more meatloaf than burger. To make into burgers, next time I could make it without all the tomato paste, 1/2 tbsp less oil and a little more oatmeal.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 large yellow onion, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon adobe pepper, finely chopped (could substitute cayenne pepper)
1 teaspoon Lawry's season salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey, 93 percent lean
1 tablespoon worchestire sauce
1/2 cup oatmeal, ground in grinder

Mix all ingredients except turkey together, then add turkey and mix well. Form into patties 1/2 inch thick, then let sit in fridge for at least one hour for flavors to meld. Broil on Hi on rack 2nd to highest for 6 minutes one side, flip then broil 6 more minutes. Flip again, broil 2 more minutes then take out and add cheese to melt ontop. Very yummy but not quite the burger flavor.
