🧾 Ingredients Used
- Ground Turkey: You'll need fresh ground turkey to make these juicy air fryer turkey burgers.
- Spices: Coconut aminos, garlic powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt add so much flavor and just enough moisture to the meat mixture.
- Olive oil: A little oil will help prevent the turkey patties from sticking in the air fryer basket.
🔪 How To Make This Recipe
- Preheat your air fryer to 350F.
- Mix the ground turkey and all the spices together.

🥫 Storing and Reheating
Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. You can also freeze leftover patties in a freezer-safe bag for 1-3 months.
To reheat these healthy turkey burgers, microwave them for 2-3 minutes or bake them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.
💭 Tips and Variations
- Since different air fryers cook at different speeds and temperatures, use a meat thermometer to take the internal temperature of the patties. You'll know they're done when they reach 165 degrees F.
- Feel free to adapt this recipe to your liking and add any of your favorite spices, like Italian seasoning or my delicious homemade poultry seasoning.
- If you only need a few delicious burgers immediately, freeze the extra patties with a layer of parchment paper between them. Thaw and cook them like normal for a delicious turkey burger any night of the week.
- Feel free to substitute soy sauce for the coconut aminos or even a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce for a savory flavor.
- These burgers taste just as great with ground chicken, too.
🍽️ What can I eat this recipe with?
