Absolutley! Ground chicken will easily replace the turkey if you prefer. They’ll still come out super delicious!
We cook these burgers at 375F 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 165F.
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 4 days covered in the fridge and can be reheated at 350F for 4 minutes til warmed through.
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.

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).
