Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F, and lightly grease the basket with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Gently mix with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
- Form 16–20 meatballs using a scooper or your hands and place them on a plate.
- Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are spaced out and not overlapping. If needed, cook in two batches.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Serve with marinara, red sauce, or pesto over pasta, and enjoy!
Notes
- Garlic Powder: Can substitute with 2 - 3 minced garlic cloves.
- Breadcrumbs: I recommend Italian breadcrumbs. If you use regular bread crumbs, add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
- Storing: Place leftovers into one large or individual airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 4 – 5 days.
- Freezing: For best results, freeze turkey meatballs without sauce. Let them cool to room temperature, then add them to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Reheat for 30 – 90 seconds until warm. You can also reheat by adding to a large pot with red sauce on the stovetop on low.
