Can I Use Homemade Turkey Burgers 

Yes, you can use a homemade turkey burger instead of a frozen burger patty. This method will work for either. The biggest thing is to watch the cooking time as it will vary. 

Depending on how thick your burgers are will vary in how long it takes. Use this post as a guide to help you know the temperature and a rough guide to how long it will take to cook. 

How to Know When Air Fryer Turkey Burgers Are Done

Turkey is poultry, so you need to aim for that 165-degree internal temperature. I recommend investing in a meat thermometer that you can check the internal temperature. You never want to eat undercooked poultry as it can make you very sick. 

When you slice into your burger, you want to make sure there is no pink in the center of the meat at all. Topping Ideas for Turkey Burgers 

• Sliced Tomatoes 
• Lettuce 
• Avocado 
• Onions 
• Etc 

Feel free to load your burgers up or do them. You can even toast your buns if you would like. I find tomato and lettuce are always a great pairing to help add flavor to your burgers. 

 

Seasonings for Turkey Burgers 

Turkey burgers are very versatile, and you can honestly add any of your favorite seasonings to your burgers. Or if you want them plain, do salt and pepper. 

Garlic, onion, spice blends are all great options. Have fun and play around with seasonings to see what fits your tastebuds. 

How to Keep Turkey Burgers From Falling Apart 

If you take the time to make your own burgers, you might run into the turkey can fall apart as it cooks. This is normal no matter the method of cooking your burgers. You might find that adding a few plain breadcrumbs into the meat can help hold it together. 

Turkey is a lot softer in texture than a classic hamburger, so the texture is different when cooking. 

Can I Cook Fries At The Same Time 

If you want to cook up some french fries as you cook your burgers, go right ahead. Just place them on one side of the air fryer. Depending on the type of fry you use, you might need to cook longer or less than the burgers. Start cooking one on the one side and then add in the other product when it is right.

How To Add Some Flavor To Frozen Air Fryer Turkey Burgers

If you have a package of frozen turkey burgers from Trader Joe’s or Costco, you will notice that sometimes they come preseasoned. 

If you have plain frozen turkey burgers, a great way to elevate them is to add some seasonings; my favorites are salt, black pepper, Old Bay Seasoning, and some Cajun Seasoning. 

Tips For Making Turkey Burgers 

• Make sure you leave space between each burger so you get an even cook. 
• You can add aluminum foil to the very bottom of your air fryer to help catch the drippings for easier cleanup. 
• You can also place a few bread pieces on the bottom of the air fryer to soak up grease that drips.
