In a large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, cheese if using, milk, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic, onion powder, pepper and soaked bread crumbs. Mix well but don't overmix -- make sure there are no clumps of bread crumbs in the mixture. Let sit for 10-20 minutes for the bread crumbs to absorb excess moisture.
