Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey 93/7
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves of garlic crushed or finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons parsley dried or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs optional

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to combine and don’t overmix.
  • Spray the palms of your hands with cooking spray or coat with oil. Form about 15-17 meatballs (about 1.5 inches in size). Set aside on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (204 C). Once heated, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place meatballs in a single layer in the basket and cook for 7 minutes (shake halfway through), or until lightly browned and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Repeat the process until all meatballs are cooked.
