Notes

Nutrition facts are for the patties only.

The Turkey Burger Sauce contains the following per serving (1 ½ tablespoons): 63 calories, 4 grams carbohydrates, 0.2 grams protein, 5 grams fat, 1 gram saturated fat.

Because Beyond Burgers contain oil, you don't need to spray or brush your air fryer basket with oil.

Line your air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper for easy clean up.

Place the patties in a single layer in the air fryer- don't overcrowd the basket.

Flip the burgers halfway through for even browning.

The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F as checked with a meat thermometer.

If topping your burgers with cheese, add the cheese at the end when the burgers are done. Turn the air fryer off and close the basket for about 30 seconds. The residual heat will melt the cheese.
