Wondering if you can or how to cook frozen turkey burgers in the air fryer? This easy Air Fryer Frozen Turkey Burgers tutorial will give you all the tips and cook times to make it happen. Enjoy these burgers with or without cheese. Keep it low-carb or keto by using a lettuce bun or low-carb bun and by pairing these with any of my keto side dishes for burgers.

Why Make This

  • Cooks from frozen: almost all of us have forgotten to thaw something for dinner. Fortunately, with an air fryer, that doesn’t need to mean take-out. You can cook many frozen foods in an air fryer.
  • Simple & ready in minutes: you can use almost any seasoning and have a flavorful turkey burger in less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Frozen Turkey burgers: you should not and do not need to thaw these. I get minimally processed uncooked frozen turkey burgers where there is usually one or two ingredients.
  • Seasoning: you can use any complete spice mix to add flavor to these frozen turkey burgers. Some of my favorites are chicken dry rub and steak seasoning.
  • Cheese: this is optional. I prefer American cheese that you can pick up packaged as singles or sliced from the deli
  • Avocado Oil Spray or olive oil spray: this helps the spices stick to the turkey burgers and keep the burgers from sticking.

Burger Toppings

For me, burgers are all about the toppings. Some of my favorites are:

  • Lettuce Bun – iceberg lettuce makes a great lettuce bun, but I also enjoy butter lettuce.
  • Turkey Bacon
  • Sliced Tomatoes
  • Sliced Red Onions
  • Pickles
  • Avocado or Guacamole
  • Fried Egg
  • Ketchup or BBQ Sauce

How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Turkey Burgers

  1. Take the frozen burgers out of the freezer when you’re ready to cook. Preheat your air fryer.
  2. Spray both sides of the burgers with oil spray. Sprinkle the seasoning on the burgers and spread it evenly on both sides
  3. Place the burgers in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees for 6 minutes. Flip the burgers and air fry at 400 degrees for 5 minutes
  4. Add a slice of cheese to each burger and continue air frying at 400 degrees for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the cheese.

Top Tips & FAQs

  • Save time with parchment paper in your air fryer: Have an easier clean-up and juicier result by adding a parchment paper liner in the bottom of the cooking basket. When using the kind without holes, it essentially helps the burgers cook in their own juice as they melt.
  • Use any complete seasoning mix: As mentioned above, some of my favorites for this recipe are chicken dry rub and steak seasoning. Complete seasoning mixes include a range of spices and are meant to be enjoyed as is.
How long do you cook a frozen turkey burger in the air fryer?

A frozen turkey burger cooks in about 12 minutes in the air fryer.

What temperature do you cook turkey burgers in an air fryer?

This tutorial recommends 400 degrees.

How do you know when turkey burgers are cooked?

You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Turkey is considered safe to eat once it reaches 165 degrees.
