In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, low-sodium shredded mozzarella cheese, panko breadcrumbs, large egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and freshly chopped parsley.
Use your hands to mix all the ingredients until well-integrated, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture as it can become tough.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the turkey patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, cook them in batches.
Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C). Flip the patties gently halfway through cooking.
Remove the cooked patties and let them rest on a plate lined with paper towels for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the cheesy turkey patties hot with your choice of sides such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
