    The air fryer is my favorite cooking method, so why not try my homemade Air Fryer Turkey Burgers? The preparation for this recipe is so easy and the air fryer does the rest. With only a few ingredients, you can have my delicious turkey burger patties that you can dress-up as you please. This is perfect for a weeknight dinner in a time crunch.

    What Makes This Recipe So Good?

    • Who doesn’t love a good burger? This will be a new essential for your family dinners. 
    • Prep is so simple. Combine everything in a mixing bowl, form your patties, and pop in the air fryer. 
    • I love the combo of garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and dijon but the seasoning combinations are endless! Burgers are so easy to customize.  
    • The air fryer keeps these burgers nice and juicy.
    • These burgers are naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, Whole30 friendly, keto, low carb, refined sugar free, flourless, grain free, and paleo! 
    • Air Fryer Home Fries would be a great side dish with this Air Fryer Turkey Burger. 
    • If you live in the Pittsburgh area, check out my weekly meal prep menu. We deliver allergen friendly meals right to your door- saving you time on your next meal.
    • You can eat this like a regular hamburger on a bun or you can eat it as a Deconstructed Burger Bowl.

    Recipe Ingredients

    • Ground turkey- You can swap for your meat of choice, if you prefer. Turkey burgers are a nice change from typical ground beef. I love to get my meat from Butcher Box. It is the BEST quality and you can tell! Use my Butcher Box link to get some free additional items every month with your order. 
    • Worcestershire sauce- Takes a basic burger recipe to the next level. You can also use steak sauce if you would prefer. 
    • Garlic– Minced finely to blend well with the ground turkey. 
    • Dijon– Adds that tangy, mildly spicy flavor. Dijon pairs so well with the Worcestershire sauce.
    • Salt & pepper- Extra seasoning. Don’t skimp on the salt, salt is essential when cooking meat. It adds so much more flavor. 

    all ingredients mix in one bowl

    How To Make

    • Step 1
      • In a bowl, combine ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. 

    mixed up ground turkey

    • Step 2
      • Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Keep them about ½ – ¾ inch thick (they will shrink in the air fryer).

    • Step 3
      • Add 2 patties at a time to the air fryer. Cook for 7 minutes at 360 degrees F. Flip the patties and continue to cook for about 7 minutes, or until the patties reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. 
    • Step 4
      • Serve on a a bun or if you are gluten free like me use a gluten free bun.

    Recipe FAQ’s

    • Can I Make These Ahead Of Time? 

      • You sure can. Form into patties and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Separate each layer of burger patties with another sheet of parchment. Pop them in the freezer and they will keep for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw overnight in the refrigerator OR add 5 more minutes to cook time. 
    • Do Burgers Shrink When Cooking? 

      • They do shrink. To help avoid this, use your thumb to create an indent in the center of each patty prior to cooking. 
    • How Do I Know When Turkey Burgers Are Done? 

      • Every air fryer is different so be sure to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Once turkey burgers reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, they are done. 
    • How Thick Should The Patties Be?

      • I recommend ½-¾ inch thick. Remember, the thicker the burger, the longer it takes to cook. 
    • What Gluten Free Bun Do You Like?

      • My go-to is the Gluten Free Udi’s brand. I also love Trader Joe’s brand.  If you shoot for lower carb options, check out my Deconstructed Burger Bowls. 
    • What Kind Of Air Fryer Do You Use?

      • I love the Ninja 11-1 Air Fryer. It only takes up one spot on the counter yet it has multiple functions. 
    • Do You Ever Buy Pre-made Frozen Patties?

      • You can but I prefer fresh ones. If you are opting for pre-made, I like the ones from Trader Joe’s. They are just ground turkey and rosemary! 

    Chef’s Tips

    • Depending on how big your air fryer is, you may be able to cook more than 2 patties at a time. But don’t overcrowd the air fryer- you want to make sure they are spaced out.
