Set the air fryer to 370°F and allow it to fully preheat.

Form the mixture into four equal patties, creating a slight indentation in the center of each to promote even cooking.

Place patties in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for 6 minutes at 370°F.

Flip each patty and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
