Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh or panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup minced onion ¼ of a large yellow onion
  • 1 ¼ tsp coarse salt
  • 1 ½ tsp minced garlic

  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¾ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together breadcrumbs and milk; let stand to absorb.

  • Stir mayo into the breadcrumb mixture, along with parsley, remaining salt, pepper and cayenne (if using).
  • When mixture is cool to the touch, stir in the egg then the ground turkey. Use your hands to gently but thoroughly work the mixture together. Form 5 burger patties.
  • Air fry the turkey burgers in batches in a single layer at 375ºF for 6 minutes. Flip burgers and continue cooking 2-3 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165ºF. You’ll need to do two batches. Let burgers rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Cook the garlic until it is just fragrant; don't allow it to burn and turn bitter.
  • The egg should be added in once the mixture has cooled down.
  • Handle the mixture gently and lightly but ensure the ingredients mix together thoroughly.
  • The patties will need to be flipped during their cooking process.
