This recipe offeres up a red meat alternative to meatballs, without sacrificing flavor or moisture.

Ground turkey is a lean option that is perfect in the air fryer!

We flavored these turkey meatballs with Italian seasoning to keep them simple and tasty! We love these on top of pasta, but they are great as appetizers alongside some warm marinara sauce too!

All the ingredients just mix together for an easy recipe you will be want to make again and again.

Ingredient List:

Ground Turkey

Bread Crumbs – We like to use Panko bread crumbs. They’re lighter than traditional bread crumbs and make for a less dense meatball. Plus, Panko is lower in calories than traditional bread crumbs.

Egg

Onion – Mince your onion finely to avoid big chunks.

Garlic – Feel free to add extra garlic, if that’s what your heart is telling you to do.

Parsley

Italian Seasoning

Salt and pepper

  • Mix- Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir it up well. I recommend a wooden spoon for this.
  • Shape- Use a medium cookie scoop to get a consistent volume of the mixture and shape it into balls.
  • Cook- Place the meatballs in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t let them touch the sides or each other. Cook for 7 minutes at 400 degrees. If you need to work in batches to get all your meatballs cooked, cover your cooked ones in foil while waiting to serve.

Meat safety tip:

A thermometer is a worthwhile investment, a very cheap one at that, in every kitchen for the safety of yourself and those whom you are serving!

After these meatballs are fully cooked the center of them should be 165 degrees F. If they are not, you need to cook them longer.
