Enjoy delicious and healthy Air Fryer Turkey Meatballs made quickly with simple ingredients. These tender and flavorful meatballs are air fried to perfection, making them a perfect protein-packed meal or snack that’s easy to prepare in just minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon basil (dried or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for cooking your meatballs evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, basil, salt, egg, and milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
  3. Shape Meatballs: Divide the mixture and roll into 12-15 evenly sized meatballs, shaping them into large domes for uniform cooking.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking, then place the meatballs in a single layer without overcrowding the basket to allow proper air circulation.
  5. Air Fry Meatballs: Cook the meatballs in the air fryer for 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning and thorough cooking. Verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the meatballs are spaced evenly in the air fryer basket for best results.
  • You can add other herbs like oregano or parsley for additional flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
  • Breadcrumbs can be substituted with gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
  • These meatballs pair well with pasta, salad, or as a protein-packed snack.
