Easiest Air Fryer Turkey Burgers
You’re going to love these easy and juicy Air Fryer Turkey Burgers. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. These gluten-free burgers can be made in less than 30 minutes.
Do you have an air-fryer in your kitchen yet? At first I was skeptical about buying another appliance, but now I really love it! An air fryer is essentially a mini convention oven, so it is excellent at removing moisture from foods and creating a crispy exterior. This air-fryer is similar to mine.
Many people think an air fryer is a deep fryer, but it is not. Just think of an air fryer as a small oven that can fit on your countertop. Air-frying is great because it doesn’t heat up your kitchen and you can make smaller batches of food without worrying about having to heat up your big kitchen oven.
Recipe Highlights
- These air-fryer turkey burgers are grain-free, gluten-free, and so easy to throw together in a short amount of time.
- 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.
Recipe Steps
Step One
You won’t believe how easy this recipe is. Just mix together the ingredients and form the patties with your hands. One pound of turkey will yield about 4 burgers.
Step Two
Place the burgers in the basket of your air fryer. Add a little bit of water to the air fryer to keep the burgers from smoking.
Set the time to 360 degree F and cook for 12-14 minutes. Serve the air-fryer turkey burgers with your favorite toppings, including air fryer bacon!
FAQs
Yes, absolutely! But, check out my Air Fryer Hamburgers recipe for exact cooking times.
Yes, you can. Or, you can substitute gluten-free or regular breadcrumbs for the almond flour.
By putting water in the bottom of the air fryer, it will keep any grease from smoking. If you air fryer isn’t designed to hold water in the bottom, then you can just skip this step.
I buy grain-free, gluten-free buns from the freezer section of my local natural foods market.
