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.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the patties with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
