Notes
- Use raw ground turkey, leftover turkey, or make Jimmy Dean turkey sausage patties with your favorite breakfast sausage.
- Don’t overmix the turkey mixture or the patties can be tough.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in batches if needed.
- Place cooked patties on a wire rack in a low oven to keep them warm while you cook everything.
- Use an ice cream or cookie school to form patties in a similar size so they cook evenly at the same rate.
- If the ground turkey patties seem too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs. If the turkey patties appear dry, add a bit more yogurt.
- Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the turkey patties.
- Serve immediately for the best results.
