Total Time 20 minutes
Makes 2

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup cold butter grated
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 burger buns toasted (if you want)
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, cheese, ketchup, and mayo

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF (204ºC) for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the meat mixture. Combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. And the secret ingredient — grated cold butter. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Make the turkey patties. Form two* equal-sized patties with the turkey mixture. Ensure the turkeys are slightly larger than the hamburger buns, as they'll shrink somewhat during cooking. They should also be about ½ inch (1.27 cm) thick.
  • Air fry the turkey burgers. Place the patties in the air fryer, ensuring they’re spaced out for even cooking. Cook at 400ºF (204ºC) for 10 - 13 minutes. Then, flip the patties halfway through. Ensure the turkey reaches a safe temperature of 165ºF (74ºC) before serving.
  • Assemble your burger. Once the burgers are done, assemble them on the buns with your favorite toppings. Add some lettuce, tomato slices, cheese, ketchup, and mayo.
  • Serve and enjoy your air-fried turkey burgers!

Notes

  • *Depends on the number of servings you’ll make.
  • Remember that cooking durations may differ depending on the turkey’s thickness and your air fryer’s size and model. Before serving, ensure it has been cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC).
  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 380°F (193°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food. 
  • You can skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time. Increment gradually to prevent burning the turkey burger.
  • I used a 6-quart (air fryer) to test the turkey burgers. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
