Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean is recommended)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Olive oil spray or avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes. While the air fryer is warming up, you can begin preparing your burger mixture. - Step 2: Season the Ground Turkey
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands or a fork to gently mix the ingredients until the spices are evenly distributed. - Step 3: Shape the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging while cooking. - Step 4: Arrange and Cook
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the patties in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook at 375°F for 6 minutes. - Step 5: Flip and Finish
Open the air fryer and carefully flip each burger using a spatula. Spray the tops lightly with a bit more oil if they look dry. Cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). - Step 6: Rest and Serve
Remove the patties from the air fryer and let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist burger. Serve on your favorite buns or lettuce wraps.
