Equipment

• My favorite air fryer

Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

1poundlean ground turkey

½cupdried breadcrumbsItalian or panko

1large egg

1tablespoonketchup

½tablespoonWorcestershire sauce

1teaspoonseasoning salt

Black pepperto taste

Hamburger bunsoptional

Toppingssuch 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.
