A simple recipe for making moist and flavorful turkey burgers using an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% or leaner)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat burger buns
  • Your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the turkey patties in a single layer in the basket, ensuring there is space between them for air circulation. You may need to cook in batches.
  5. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the burgers halfway through the cooking time (around the 5-minute mark).
  6. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; the burgers are done when they reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the patties from the air fryer. If using cheese, place a slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking.
  8. Toast the buns in the air fryer for 1 to 2 minutes, if desired.
  9. Assemble your burgers with your chosen toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To keep the burgers moist, avoid pressing down on them with a spatula while they cook in the air fryer.
  • For extra flavor, mix 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley into the meat mixture.
  • If your turkey is very lean (99%), consider adding 1 teaspoon of olive oil directly into the meat mixture for added moisture.
