Pre-heat grill on high.
Pour olive oil on to a large plate; set aside.
Pulse together all remaining ingredients (ground turkey through nutmeg) in a food processor until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove blade from food processor and use hands to form 8 small patties.
Place patties on plate with olive oil and toss once to coat both sides.
Grill over high heat 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until internal cooking temperature reaches 165 degrees or higher.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice pilaf or in a pita bread with cucumber yogurt sauce.

These patties can be cooked under the broiler just as easily as they can be grilled! Just broil on high for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned.
