Ingredients
Turkey Burgers
- 16 ounce box Trader Joe’s frozen turkey burgers (4 count patties)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Buns and Toppings
- 4 Brioche burger buns
- Sliced avocado (½ small avocado per burger)
- 4 Tbsp caramelized onion jam (1 Tbsp per burger)
- Chipotle aioli or burger sauce, to taste
- Fresh arugula, to taste
Instructions
- Season the Burgers: Season both sides of the frozen turkey patties evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance their flavor before cooking.
- Air Fry the Burgers: Place the seasoned frozen patties in your air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there is enough space between them to allow air circulation. Cook at 375°F (or 380°F depending on your air fryer’s settings) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the patties and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F for safe consumption. If adding cheese, place it on the patties in the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt perfectly.
- Prepare the Buns and Toppings: While the burgers cook, prepare your brioche buns and slice the avocado. Gather caramelized onion jam, chipotle aioli, and fresh arugula for assembling the burgers.
- Assemble and Serve: Place each cooked turkey burger on a brioche bun, then add sliced avocado, a dollop of caramelized onion jam, chipotle aioli, and fresh arugula. Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as sweet potato chips for a complete meal.
Notes
- Ensure the internal temperature of the turkey burgers reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- You can customize toppings as desired, such as adding cheese, lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
- The cooking time might vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; adjust accordingly.
- Let the cooked burgers rest for a minute before assembling to retain juiciness.
- Sweet potato chips or a fresh salad make excellent sides for this burger.
