Air Fryer Turkey Burgers
Description
The recipe mixes ground turkey with olive oil to add fat, an egg yolk for binding, seasoned bread crumbs for texture and flavor, soy sauce for umami, along with onion and garlic powders, salt, and black pepper. Patties are shaped with a thumb indent to prevent puffing and refrigerated to help firmness. Air frying at 350°F cooks the burgers in about 12-14 minutes total, flipping halfway to brown evenly and reach the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving suggestions include hamburger buns and fresh vegetable toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onion. Optionally, brushing barbecue sauce on the patties before cooking imparts added flavor. Monitoring internal temperature ensures juicy, safe-to-eat burgers without overcooking dry poultry meat.
This cooking method delivers a straightforward preparation with minimal fat added and reduced mess compared to pan-frying, suitable for turkey burgers that retain moisture and flavor balanced with seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey not extra lean
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt
- black pepper
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce optional
For Serving
- Hamburger Bun
- lettuce tomato, onion
Instructions
- Gently combine all ingredients in a bowl.
- Form into 4 patties, ½" thick. Using your thumb, create a small indent in the patties. Refrigerate 30 minutes
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
- Brush patties with barbecue sauce if using and place in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook 6 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 6-8 minutes or until cooked through (165°F).
- Serve on buns with desired toppings.
Notes
- Ensure ground turkey reaches 165°F internally for safe consumption.
- Chill patties before cooking to help them hold their shape and blend flavors.
- If using extra lean turkey, add some fat such as olive oil or finely chopped bacon for moisture.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking and drying out the burgers.
- Barbecue sauce is optional but adds a smoky flavor when brushed on before air frying.
