the Ingredients

• 1 LB of Ground Turkey Breast

• 1 Egg

• 1/2 Cup of Breadcrumbs (Panko can be used as an alternative)

• 1/3 Cup of Finely Diced Onions

• 1 Tablespoon of Minced Garlic

• 2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice

• 2 Tablespoons of Sour Cream

• 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce

• 3 Tablespoons of your Favorite BBQ Sauce

  • Our preference is Carolina Gold as it offers a tang of yellow mustard.

• 1 Tablespoon of Dried Parsley

• Salt, to taste

• Black Pepper, to taste

• 1 Bag of Brioche Buns (Olive Oil for grilling)

the Instructions

• Preheat your Air Fryer to 360 Degrees.

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients (minus the buns) and mix well.

• Form the patties into 3 inch diameter balls.

• One the Air Fryer is preheated, spray the bottom of the compartment tray with non-stick cooking spray. Place 2-4 balls into the Air Fryer (depending on the size) and slowly flatten each ball with a spatula. Once flattened into patties, spray the top of each patty with cooking spray, and close the compartment.

• Cook for 6 minutes.

• As you flip each patty:

  • Spray the top of each patty again.

  • Then flip the patty.

  • Then, spray the other side of the patty.

• Cook for an additional 6 minutes. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the patties to ensure you don't overcook them.

  • The desired temperature is 160 Degrees Fahrenheit.

• Repeat this step until all patties have been cooked.

• Optional | Place a slice of your favorite cheese onto each patty and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes at 350 Degrees until cheese is melted to your liking.
