Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Thermometer for Accuracy

Turkey sausage should be cooked to 165°F to ensure it’s fully cooked and safe to eat.

Don’t Stack Patties

Cook in a single layer to allow proper air circulation and even crisping.

Add Cheese at the End

If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the final 1 minute of cooking to melt perfectly.

Toast Your Buns Separately

Toast English muffins or bagels in the air fryer for 2 minutes at 350°F while patties rest.
