In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, nutritional yeast, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg to the mixture and blend well. This will help bind the patties.
Gradually mix in the almond flour to give the patties structure and ensure they hold together well.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they have a golden-brown crust and are cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature of each patty reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the patties hot. They pair well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete Whole30 meal.
