- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indent in the center of each patty.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Cooking
- Once preheated, place the patties in the air fryer basket with space between each one.
- Cook the burgers for about 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- For melted cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.
- Remove the burgers from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve the turkey burgers on toasted buns with fresh toppings, or over a bed of greens for a lighter option. Consider using unique bun alternatives for variety.
