Air-fried turkey burgers are a quick and easy way to get dinner on the table. The air fryer keeps them juicy and cooks them evenly. You'll find the full recipe and air frying instructions on this page.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (not extra lean / 99% fat-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Burger buns and toppings

Steps
- 01Form into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick.
- 02Press a dimple in the center, same as beef burgers.
- 03Season both sides.
- 04Spray the basket lightly with oil. Turkey has less fat than beef and sticks more.
- 05Ready for the air fryer. Internal temp: 165°F.
Don't buy "extra lean" or "99% fat-free" ground turkey for burgers. It makes a dry, flavorless puck. Regular ground turkey (93/7 or 85/15) has enough fat to stay juicy. If you can only find the lean stuff, mix in 1 tablespoon of olive oil per pound to add moisture back.
