Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potato Fries:

Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Toss sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.

Make the Turkey Burgers:

In a bowl, mix turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Divide into 4 patties, pressing a small indentation in the center.

Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.

Cook the Patties:

Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Assemble Burgers:

Toast buns for 2–3 minutes in the air fryer (optional).

Layer bun with lettuce, patty, tomato, avocado, and condiment.

Serve:

Plate burgers alongside sweet potato fries for a complete meal.

Notes

You can swap ground turkey for ground chicken.

Add a slice of low-fat cheese if desired.

Fries cook best in a single layer—make two batches if needed.

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer for best texture
