Air Fryer Sausage Patties
Evenly browned and cooked to perfection, these homemade air fryer sausage patties are tasty without all the mess and splatter of stovetop cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey, 85% lean, dark meat
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the turkey burgers in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (176°C) and use a food scale to portion 2-3 ounces of ground turkey per patty.
- Form the mixture into balls and set them on a baking sheet; repeat with the remaining turkey. Use another baking sheet to press down the turkey to create patties.
- Make an impression in the center of each patty using your thumb. Cook them 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Notes
Expert Tips:
- Refrigerate the turkey mixture before forming and cooking the sausage patties.
- I use the two baking sheets because I love how perfect the patties come out, but feel free to form the sausage patties by hand if you prefer.
- Press your thumb into each patty to prevent them from shrinking as they cook.
- Turkey is lean and prone to drying out, so avoid overcooking the patties; the safe cooking temperature for turkey is 165°F (73°C). Since air fryer models vary, use a food thermometer for a more accurate reading and cooking time.
