Step 4

Spray the inside of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place the turkey burgers in the basket, making sure they do not overlap. Fry in batches if the burgers are too large for the air fryer. Air fry the turkey burgers for 6 minutes. Flip the burgers and fry for another 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the burger reaches at least 165°F.

Notes:

  1. To make the recipe low-carb and gluten free, replace all of the breadcrumbs with almond flour and serve the air fryer turkey burgers on top of a bed of greens or a lettuce wrap.
  2. If you have a nut allergy, replace the almond flour with breadcrumbs.
  3. To make sliders, divide the patties into 8-10 portions and air fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. Place on slider buns and serve.
