Method

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
Shape the mixture into patties of your desired size, making them slightly larger than the buns to account for shrinkage.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Once heated, arrange the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Serving

Serve the burgers on toasted buns with lettuce, tomato, and any other desired toppings.
