Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ½ cup dried breadcrumbs Italian or panko
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Hamburger buns optional
  • Toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or other favorite burger toppings

Instructions
 

  • Place the ground turkey in a mixing bowl with the breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, and pepper. 
  • Use a fork to mix the contents of the bowl together well, being sure not to over mix.
  • Shape into four ½-inch thick round patties and place them on a large plate. Chill the patties in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
  • Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, then place the burgers in an even layer in the basket.
  • Air fry for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached.

Notes

  • Melt cheese on the burgers by placing a piece of cheese on each patty and closing the air fryer for 1 minute with it off to let the cheese melt in the residual heat.
  • Don’t overwork the meat.
  • Place a thumbprint in the middle of the burgers before cooking. This helps the burgers stay flatter with less shrinkage.
  • Leave some space between each turkey burger in the air fryer. An air fryer works by circulating hot air, so if they are touching, they won’t cook evenly.
