Instructions
For all Types of Sausage
Keep the sausage in a single layer in the basket. Do not crowd or stack the patties.
When cooking is done, use an instant-read thermometer to verify that the patties have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. The exact cooking time will vary based on your air fryer model, how full it is, and the thickness of the patties. Add extra time as needed.
Frozen Cooked Sausage Patties
Put the patties in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 3 minutes.

Notes
This works with all kinds of sausage, include pork, turkey, and chicken sausage. It also works with frozen vegetarian or vegan sausages.
Do not crowd the sausage in the basket. Leave room for the air to circulate.
Cook up a batch of frozen sausage patties and use them over the week for meal prep.
For food safety, always use a meat thermometer to make sure the sausage has reached an internal temperature of 165 F. Don't try to judge doneness just based on time.
