How to Store and Reheat
The turkey burger mix can be kept in the fridge for a day or two before you want to cook it. Leftovers will keep well for 3 days covered in the fridge and can be reheated at 350°F for 4 minutes until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Freeze air fryer turkey burger patties in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
Load these turkey burgers into buns and your favorite burger toppings or serve them in a lettuce wrap for a low-carb option! I love them with Shoestring Fries, Parmesan Potato Wedges, a Chopped Salad, Crispy Zucchini Fries, or Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries.
We cook these burgers at 375°F for around 10 to 12 minutes. Air fryer models can run slightly differently, so the best way to check for doneness is to use an instant read thermometer which should register at 165°F.
Yes, so be sure to make a big batch! Let the burgers cool and freeze them on a baking sheet til solid, then transfer to a bag or container. They will keep well for up to 3 months and should be thawed in the fridge before reheating.
Ground turkey is low in fat and high in protein. They are also low carb and gluten-free as they are made without breadcrumbs and you only need a very small amount of oil.

Becky’s tips
- Don’t over mix the burger ingredients. Everything should be combined, but over working it can lead to tough and chewy burgers.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil so that the burgers brown and don’t stick. Alternatively, you can use your hands to rub oil over the burgers before placing them in the basket.
- These simple burgers are so delicious, but you can try adding dried herbs or spices, like paprika or Italian seasoning, for a different flavor.
- I used sliced sharp cheddar and sliced sharp white cheddar— but use any cheese you like (or leave it off).
