Make moist and flavorful turkey burgers quickly using your air fryer. This recipe includes a technique to keep lean ground turkey from drying out.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground turkey (85% or 93% lean)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press 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 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly brush both sides of the turkey patties with olive oil to help with browning and moisture retention.
  5. Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Work in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
  7. Flip the burgers carefully. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 minutes for medium-well, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove the burgers from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving on buns with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can mix 1 tablespoon of grated onion into the meat mixture.
  • If you are cooking frozen turkey burgers, increase the initial cooking time by about 4 to 6 minutes at 375°F (190°C) and check the internal temperature frequently.
  • Do not crowd the air fryer basket; cooking in batches ensures the air circulates properly for even cooking.
