Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • cup Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ cup Whole Milk
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt (or 3/4 tsp regular salt)
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • ¼ tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey (85% to 93% lean)
  • Sliced Cheese (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, beat the egg. Then add the bread crumbs and the milk. Mix well.
  • Add the salt, pepper garlic powder, onion powder, and poultry seasoning. Mix well.
  • Add the ground turkey and mix well with a fork to combine ingredients.
  • Form 4 (4 oz) burger patties, or 3 (6 oz), or 2 (8 oz). Make an indent in the center of each patty about the size of a nickel (this helps reduce puffing up).
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add the burger patties.
  • Close the lid and select the air fryer option for your model.
  • ---NOTE: Thicker patties may need a longer cook time.---
    *Choose 360° F, and 14 minutes for a 4 oz patty. For 6 oz patties cook for 17 minutes. For 8 oz patties cook for 20 minutes. Flip the burgers halfway through cook time.
  • The burgers should be at least 165° F internal temperature to be done.
  • If you want a cheeseburger, place slices of cheese on the burgers and close the lid for a couple of minutes to melt it.
  • Remove and build a fabulous turkey burger!

Notes

*There are many styles of air fryers on the market now. I used a Ninja Foodi® for this recipe. Cook times may vary with different styles/models.
