Steps

Slice the mushrooms and onion, mince the garlic and pulse the oats fine before you start.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 20 minutes.
Push the onion aside, add the butter, then the mushrooms, half the thyme and half the garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid is gone, about 8 minutes. Season with a quarter of the salt and keep warm.
Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high, about 425°F (220°C), and oil the grates.
In a bowl, gently mix the turkey with the oats, the remaining half of the garlic, the remaining half of the thyme, the onion powder, the black pepper and the remaining three-quarters of the salt. Shape into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick and press a dimple in each center.
Grill the patties 5 to 6 minutes per side until they reach 165°F (74°C) inside. Top each with a slice of mozzarella during the last minute and close the lid to melt.
Toast the bread or buns on the grill for about 1 minute per side.
Spread the mustard on the bottom pieces, add the spinach, then a patty, and pile the mushrooms and onions on top. Close and serve.
