Cooking turkey burgers in the air fryer is one of those air fryer recipes that must be on your bucket list.
The turkey patties cook just as good as they do on the barbecue and even leave the grill marks on the burger (well depending on which air fryer you have) and then any excess fat drips into the air fryer basket below.
A bit like using a professional diet grill to make burgers.

Patties – You will need some turkey patties in this recipe. You can go cheap if you want and we used turkey patties from Aldi.
Buns – I love to serve my turkey burgers in hamburger buns. Any will do and remember you can warm them up and toast them in the air fryer.

Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in our turkey burgers in the air fryer, it has just been our Philips Air Fryer. We have this one and its wonderful for many types of air fryer recipes.
Air Fryer Turkey Burgers & Potatoes
I prefer to cook my turkey burgers with potatoes and then serve the potatoes on the side. In this recipe, what I did was prep the potatoes first and then cook them with the burger patties, then as I make up the burgers, the potatoes finish their cook time alone in the air fryer.
You can do the same thing or swap the cubed potatoes for another potato option or even some of our air fryer veggie fries.
