In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, garlic, red chili flakes, cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense patties.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the spicy turkey patties on a salad, alongside roasted vegetables, or as a sandwich filling with your favorite toppings.
