How to Make Fresh Turkey Patties Recipe {Tips}
- 99% lean ground turkey meat is the most leanest option of all but the patty will cook a little drier. So try to make smaller patties that cooker quicker. If the patty is too large, you need to cook it longer which can make it dry.
- We prefer ground Turkey meat that has brown meat in it for more flavor.
- Use a quality ground turkey meat. The patties will cook with more texture and less mushy. Here’s a great guide to buying ground meat.
- Add your favorite spices like lemon pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Or if you like a smoky spicy flavor patty, add some chipotle and smoked paprika.
- Hand shaped patties: Remember that timing will vary a lot because everyone shapes their patties differently. A thicker patty will require longer cooking times.
- Different air fryers: Also, timing will vary because every air fryer is different. Some cook hotter than others. But after your first batch, you’ll know what timing is best for your preferred texture on your specific air fryer model.
- Love cheese? Make a turkey cheeseburger in the air fryer. Add a slice of cheese on top of the meat when it’s cooked and air fry for just about 30 seconds so the cheese can melt.
