Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat with desired seasonings and form into patties (about ½ inch thick).
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
Cooking
- Place patties in the air fryer basket, spaced apart for air circulation.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. Ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for beef/turkey, or 165°F (74°C) for chicken.
- If making cheeseburgers, add cheese on top of each patty for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Lightly toast buns in the air fryer for the last minute of cooking.
- Assemble burgers by stacking patties into buns and adding toppings.
Notes
Don’t overwork the meat; use a meat thermometer for perfect cooking. Creating a small indent helps patties cook evenly.
