Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon OliveNation paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon Costabile chili olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon Costabile garlic olive oil
Instructions
- Add the ground turkey, cumin, salt, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, dried cilantro, garlic powder, and both oils to a large bowl.
- Using clean hands, mix the ground turkey and seasonings together until fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 4 balls. Each one should weigh about 3.8 to 4 ounces.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly grease the air fryer tray with olive oil. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
- Press the turkey burger balls into ½-inch-thick patties and place them on the greased air fryer basket tray, leaving space between each for even cooking.
- Air fry at 350 for 7 minutes. Then, flip the burgers and fry for another 3 to 5 minutes. The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Wrap the burgers in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Microwave burgers at 1-minute intervals until heated through.
- Preheat the air fryer for even cooking and accurate cooking times. It only takes about 5 minutes!
- Brush your air fryer tray with olive oil rather than using nonstick spray.
- Never use nonstick spray on your air fryer basket. The spray can damage the nonstick coating over time.
- Don't overmix the turkey. Overmixing causes the proteins to contract when the meat cooks, squeezing out the juice and making dry burgers.
