Air Fryer Banquet Turkey Sausage Recipe
Ingredients:
- Package of Banquet Brown ‘N Serve Turkey Sausage Links or Patties
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the turkey sausage links or patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured by a food thermometer.
- Flip the sausage halfway through cooking for even browning. This step is optional for links, but recommended for patties.
- Once cooked through, remove the sausage from the air fryer and let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- If your air fryer tends to run hot, you can start checking the sausage for doneness after 6 minutes.
- For extra crispy sausage, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end.
- You can add a tablespoon of olive oil to the air fryer basket before cooking for even more browning.
Air Fryer Banquet Turkey Sausage FAQs
Q: Can I use pre-cooked turkey sausage in the air fryer?
A: Absolutely! Pre-cooked sausage will take less time to cook in the air fryer, typically around 5-7 minutes. Just be sure to heat it through until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Q: What if my turkey sausage doesn’t fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket?
A: If your air fryer is on the smaller side, you can cook the sausage in batches. Alternatively, you can try arranging the sausage links or patties in a slightly overlapping pattern, but be sure they are not crowded. This may require slightly longer cooking time.
Q: Can I season my air-fried turkey sausage?
A: You bet! Before air frying, you can sprinkle your sausage with your favorite seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
