Equipment

Air Fryer (click for my favorite)

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 garlic clove minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 slices cheese optional (see notes)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the turkey, garlic, salt, and Worcestershire sauce.
1 pound ground turkey, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Divide the mixture into 4 and shape each one into a patty that is no thicker than ¾ inch.
Spray your air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray and add the turkey burgers.
Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the burgers register 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Add one slice of cheese to the top of each burger and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted.
4 slices cheese
Serve with your choice of garnishes.

Notes

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).

Storage: Store air fryer turkey burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
