Add the pistachios to a food processor and pulse 6–8 times until coarsely chopped — pieces should be roughly the size of breadcrumbs, not a fine powder. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the parsley, thyme, lemon zest, turmeric, black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Drizzle in 1 tbsp of the olive oil and stir until the mixture just holds together.
