HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER TURKEY BURGERS

  1. First, put the frozen turkey burger in the air fryer basket or on your air fryer tray. Don't worry about thawing in advance!
  2. Then, air fry the burgers at 375 degrees F (or 191 degrees C!) for about 15 minutes. Cook time will depend on burger size and air fryer brand, but my turkey burgers are about ½-inch thick.
  3. Flip the burgers halfway through to get them evenly cooked on both sides.
  4. Finally, put your favorite toppings on the burger bun and add your patty. Enjoy!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH AIR FRYER TURKEY BURGERS

There's no combination like burgers and fries. It just makes sense. Make the crispiest frozen fries in the air fryer!

If you love steak fries, those are easily doable. Tater tots, too! Be sure to shake the basket a few times while the fries cook.

Just because there's no grill doesn't mean you can't have the cookout sides! Smoked corn on the cob is my favorite because it's fresh, crunchy, and smokey.

HOW LONG DO I COOK A FROZEN TURKEY BURGER IN AN AIR FRYER?

Almost any recipe can be converted to an air fryer recipe!

I tried a few temperatures before settling on 375 degrees F. It's hot enough to give the burger a caramelized outside but not so hot it burns before it's done.

The size of your burger will determine how long it needs to cook, as thicker burgers take longer. Use a meat thermometer to be sure it's at least 165 degrees F before serving — just like chicken!

In my experience, set a timer for about 12 minutes and check on your turkey burgers.

For easy cleanup, line your air fryer basket with parchment paper liners!

IS A TURKEY BURGER HEALTHIER THAN A HAMBURGER?

Beef and turkey both have plenty of nutrients to offer. But is a turkey burger healthier than a hamburger?

Ground beef is packed with iron, zinc, and Vitamin B12. Turkey, however, has higher amounts of other B vitamins that promote a higher metabolism.

Turkey is lower in both saturated fat and calories than beef, but otherwise, it has a lot of similar nutritional information for protein and sodium.

Personally, I prefer white meats, and ground turkey is so close to ground beef, I choose turkey burgers every time!
