They are great for school lunches or family dinners during the holidays. This recipe is quick and easy to prepare; it just needs 20 minutes to cook turkey burgers in the air fryer. Read on to find out more timing.
How Long to Cook Turkey Burgers in Air Fryer?
Spray a light layer of non-stick cooking spray on the rack before placing it in the oven. On a rack, evenly space out 4 turkey patties, so they are well spaced apart from one another. Using the air fryer, set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and set the timer for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, take the turkey burgers out of the air fryer and place them back onto the rack. Then return the air fryer to the preheated setting (400°F) and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the turkey burgers from the air fryer and rest for 10 minutes.
How Long to Cook Frozen Turkey Burgers in The Air Fryer?
375 degrees Fahrenheit should be preheated for 5 minutes in the air fryer. Spray the basket lightly with cooking spray and place the frozen patties without overlapping them. Prepare food. You don't need to flip the vegetable, but you can do so if you want. Bake for 14 - 16 minutes. With lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and whatever else you like, dress the burger on a bun as you wish.
Can I Prep Turkey Burgers Ahead of Time?
Yes. You can make Turkey Burgers ahead of time and freeze them for later use. This way, you won't have to worry about cooking them on busy nights.
Place the raw ground turkey into a bowl and add seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. Then form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place one patty onto a piece of parchment paper and wrap tightly around the meat. Repeat with remaining patties. Once done wrapping, place the patties into an airtight container and place them in the freezer for up 3 months. To cook, just pop them into the air fryer and follow the instructions above.
Would Breadcrumbs Work On These Turkey Burgers?
Yes. A crunchier turkey patty can be obtained by dipping them in egg wash followed by breadcrumbs for a more flavorful result. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Instead, try cooking them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. They might require slightly longer cooking time because of the coating.
Is It Okay To Add Meat Substitute Ingredients to Turkey Burgers In The Air Fryer?
If you know what kind of substitute ingredients you prefer to add to foods, feel free to experiment. However, there are certain things we cannot recommend. First of all, it would not be safe to add any soy or vegan protein powder. Soy products contain natural hormones and growth factors that could cause issues when added to meats. Second, any kind of artificial colorant or flavor enhancer would also be a bad idea to add to these recipes. Lastly, anything high in sodium content, such as salt or other preservatives, is best avoided.
Conclusion
Making your own turkey burgers at home is simple and easy. And since they only need minimal prep work, they're perfect for preparing on weeknights or even during those hectic holidays. Just remember to remember the safety guidelines that apply to this meal and keep in mind the timing. I hope I have cleared out that part for you.
