Ingredients & Variations
BURGERS: Turkey burgers are lower in fat than other burgers and they can also be found in fat-free versions. The key to keeping them juicy is not to overcook them and top them with delicious spreads and dressings.
SAUCE: Any sauce will do! Brush on any favorite bbq sauce, a spicy chili sauce, or ketchup halfway through the cooking time.
TOPPINGS: What’s a burger without an assortment of toppings? Offer a platter of lettuce leaves, slices of cheese, onions, tomatoes, pickles, and condiments like mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup.
VARIATION: For stuffed turkey burgers, start with thawed patties and cut halfway through the burger horizontally almost to the other side. Sprinkle in some cheese, onions, or sliced jalapenos, and then air fry per directions.
How to Cook Turkey Burgers in the Air Fryer
Fresh or frozen, the best way to get perfect turkey burger results is to start with a preheated air fryer.
- Place the patties in a single layer and cook (per recipe below).
- Brush on barbecue sauce and continue cooking.
- Make sure burgers reach 165° F.
Tips for Perfectly Juicy Burgers
Since turkey burgers are lower in fat, they can overcook easily. It’s wise to use a meat thermometer to make sure the burgers are cooked all the way, especially if cooking from frozen.
