Ingredients

1 lb 93% lean ground turkey, not 99% lean
⅓ cup shredded yellow onion
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, optional
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) and lightly spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix the ingredients in a large bowl: ground turkey, shredded onion, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion powder, Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about ½-inch thick.
Place the patties in the air fryer basket, evenly spaced and not overlapping. Cook in two batches if needed.
Air fry for 10 to 13 minutes, flipping halfway through. The burgers are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Optional: If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last 1 minute of cooking.
Optional: Toast the buns. Lightly butter and air fry at 300°F (149°C), cut side up, for 3 to 4 minutes until golden.
Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

* Use 93% lean ground turkey for juicier burgers. 99% lean ground turkey can result in dry burgers since this recipe has no breadcrumbs or eggs.

Don’t overmix the meat or the patties will turn out dense.

Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.

Cook in batches if needed—avoid crowding the air fryer basket.
