Notes

  • Cook from frozen – do not thaw first. You should air fry these patties straight out of the freezer.
  • Make sure to check the nutrition of your own turkey burger patties for an accurate reading.
  • You can use any brand of frozen chicken patties you prefer. For example, Trader Joe's turkey burgers are a great choice.
  • You can also use homemade turkey burger patties you have frozen.
  • Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer model and size. You may need to adjust the timing according to your model. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F internally - this is the safe temperature for ground turkey.
  • Recipe time and temperature is based on a preheated air fryer.
