Method

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine turkey, brown sugar, sage, salt, paprika, red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, and garlic powder. Use a fork or your hands to mix everything together until it is evenly combined.

  2. With damp hands, shape the turkey mixture into 8 thin patties that are approximately 3 in diameter and 1/4 thick. Keep in mind that the meat will expand in the air fryer.

  3. Apply cooking spray to the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.

  4. Place the patties in the basket, making sure to leave about 1/4 of space between each patty. It is important not to overcrowd the basket, so you may need to cook them in batches.

  5. Cook the patties at 400°F, flipping them halfway through the cooking process. This will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes.

  6. Once the patties are golden and crisp, they are ready to be served.
