Equipment

air fryer
mixing bowl
spatula
measuring spoons
meat thermometer

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp olive oil
4 burger buns
4 slices lettuce leaves
1 tomato sliced

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375–400°F for about 3–5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil.
Form the turkey mixture into 4 slightly thick burger patties.
Place the patties in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between each burger.
Cook the turkey burgers for 10–15 minutes depending on thickness.
Flip the patties halfway through cooking to help both sides brown evenly.
Check that the burgers are fully cooked and lightly browned on the outside.
Let the burgers rest for 1–2 minutes before serving on buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For juicier burgers, use slightly thicker patties and avoid overcooking. Flip the burgers halfway through cooking and let them rest for 1–2 minutes before serving. Serve with burger buns, lettuce wraps, salads, fries, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
