Ingredient Notes
Turkey
Finely ground turkey is used to make the turkey patties, but it also works with fatty cuts. Be careful of a little too much moisture during cooking.
Seasoning
We season the turkey burgers with black pepper powder, garlic powder, salt, and paprika. I promise the juiciness is not diminished in any way, even if it is a little sparse.
Olive Oil
A small amount of olive oil is used to coat the basket so that the patties can be fried in it.
Worcestershire Sauce
The addition of Worcestershire sauce to the burger patty is essential to its quality.
Burger Fix-In
Use whatever you like, but I keep it simple with keto-friendly buns, red onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard.
Instructions
- Place the mixing bowl on the shelf and add all the ingredients and mix all the ingredients.
- Using slightly damp palms, form four patties with the ground cooked meat.
- After greasing the air fryer basket, place the turkey burgers inside.
- Cook at 18 degrees Celsius (three fifty degrees Fahrenheit) for twelve minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Place the patties on a rack for five minutes then finish cooking the burgers.
Serving Ideas
- For a creamy, healthy fat boost, add sliced or mashed avocado to your turkey burgers. Or use a dash of lime, cayenne pepper, and salt to make a guacamole-style garnish.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of the turkey patty to create the burgers. For a creamy, savory finish, choose mozzarella, Swiss, or cheddar.
- A few pickle relish or slices of dill pickle can provide a pleasing contrast to the flavorful turkey burgers.
- Just be aware of the amount of sugar in store-bought pickles.
- You can use homemade keto-friendly mayo (made with avocado or olive oil), mustard, or sugar-free ketchup on top of your burgers. We can also add sugar-free keto-friendly barbecue sauce to enhance the flavor of these burgers.
- To add flavor without adding extra carbs, saute some mushrooms in butter or olive oil for a rich and flavorful topping.
- If you want bread, you can make a low-carb “bun” by slicing zucchini lengthwise and then grilling or frying the pieces.
- These air-fried turkey burgers are served with crunchy radishes, zucchini fries, turnip fries, or cucumber fries.
Tips
- You can make your own ground turkey by putting the turkey breast fillets in a food processor and blending them together, if you don't have any on hand.
- Yes, this recipe is for turkey burgers, but if you prefer, you can substitute any other ground meat. Both ground beef and ground chicken will work just as well.
- The turkey patties should be refrigerated for a short time to preserve their firm shape.
- Cook the patties in batches as needed. Four patties fit easily in my Philips XL air fryer.
