US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the fresh ground turkey, chopped red onions, feta cheese, and homemade dry ranch dressing mix. 1 lb ground turkey 1/2 cup red onion ⅓ cup feta cheese 2 tbsp ranch seasoning
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and form into burger patties.
Place patties into the air fryer basket in a single layer. If you typically spray oil in your fryer, I prefer olive oil.
Cook at 360 degrees (or medium-high heat, depending on what your options are with your air fryer) for 30 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes.
The turkey burgers are done when they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165º on a meat thermometer. The cooking time can change based on your air fryer–this is just a guide.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

You can swap the ground turkey meat for ground chicken or ground beef, but be aware that the cooking times could change. If you're looking for a super juicy burger I'd recommend getting 70 or 80% fat free ground turkey instead of 90%. If you're confused, ask the butcher at your local grocery store for advice.
You can switch out feta for any cheese you prefer. Sometimes I use blue cheese, or even Gruyere. More of a cheddar cheese fan? That's ok too! This is a super basic turkey burger recipe. Don't stress!
Add salt and pepper to taste. I don't often salt my recipes when cooking so that my readers can add their own based on personal preferences.
If you'd like to freeze these, I recommend making the uncooked turkey patties, flattening them, then freezing individually. I've found the best way to cook after freeing is to thaw the frozen burgers before cooking for the best results.
Store leftover burgers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. Leftovers will last 5 days or so.
