Finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, roughly 1.5 cm thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75Β°C or 165Β°F).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Italian Turkey Patties with a side of salad, roasted vegetables, or on a whole-grain bun as a burger.
