Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, and whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to the mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper, and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place each turkey patty in the skillet without overcrowding.
