Air Fryer Cooking

I’m still fairly new to air fryer cooking, but I am loving it! An air fryer is essentially a mini convention oven, so it is excellent at removing moisture from foods and creating a crispy exterior.

Many people think an air fryer is a deep fryer, but it is not. Just think of an air fryer as a small oven.

Recipe Highlights

  • This recipe is grain-free, gluten-free, and so easy.
  • Turkey burgers can be served on a gluten-free bun. Or, for a low-carb option, serve the burgers on a salad or on top of spiralized zucchini noodles.
  • You can meal prep these burgers and re-heat them throughout the week. Or, freeze the cooked burgers and serve them at a later date.
