Air Fryer Low Carb Turkey Burgers
The secret to these amazing turkey patties is the savory sauce (either Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, or soy sauce). They lend a wonderful rich and deep umami flavor. Our favorite is fish sauce. It’s brings a depth of flavor that will keep everyone saying this burger patty is the best they’ve ever had! If fish sauce isn't up your alley, Worcestershire or soy sauce are still great alternates.If you are using frozen turkey patties, here is instructions for cooking Frozen Turkey Patties in the Air Fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. (454 g) ground turkey
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire , fish sauce, or soy sauce (fish sauce is our favorite)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried herbs (oregano, thyme, dill, basil, marjoram)
- 1/2 cup (80 g) minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt , or to taste
- Lots of black pepper
- oil spray , for coating
- 4 slices cheese (optional)
Burger Assembly Options:
- 4 large lettuce leaves , preferably green leaf, red leaf, or iceberg
- 1 avocado , sliced
- Other options: cheese, radish sprouts, lettuce, pickles, tomato, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer at 380°F/193°C for 5 minutes.
- Mix together the turkey, garlic, Worcestershire sauce (or fish sauce or soy sauce), dried herbs, onion, salt and pepper until just combined.
- Form the turkey into 4 patties about 4” wide. Spray both sides with oil. If you have a smaller air fryer, you’ll have to cook in two batches.
- Spray the air fryer basket/tray with oil or line with a non-stick perforated silicone liner in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for a total time of 10-12 minutes. After the first 6 minutes, flip the patties. Continue to Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for another 4-6 minutes or until its internal temperature is 165°F/74°C or cooked to your preferred doneness. If your patty is thicker, you many need to cook for a few more minutes.
- For Turkey Cheeseburgers: add the slices of cheese on top of the cooked patties. Air fry at 380°F/193°C for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the cheese.
- For best juiciness, cover the patties and let rest for a couple minutes. Serve wrapped in lettuce, topped with avocado slices and your favorite burger toppings.
Notes
Nutrition based on 1/4 lb. patties and just lettuce and avocado. Optional toppings & cheese will increase values.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
