Instructions
- Turkey Meatballs
- In a medium skillet add the oil. Turn heat to medium-low. Add the onion, and salt. Cover and cook over stirring often until the onion is soft 4-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove onion mix from heat and cool.
- In a medium size mixing bowl whisk the milk or yogurt, egg, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- In a large separate bowl, mix the ground turkey, panko or breadcrumbs (pork rinds for low carb), parsley, pepper, cooked cool onion mix, and egg mixture together; mix gently. Form meatballs 3/4" to 1-3/4" in diameter.
- Place the meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer insert with non-stick cooking spray. Place meatballs in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer leaving space between the meatballs to allow the air to circulate.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes at 375°F or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Check halfway through cooking time. Repeat if you need to cook in batches.
- Brown Sugar Glaze
- In a small bowl whisk together the ketchup, brownsugar (golden monk fruit for sugar free) and vinegar.
- Brush cooked meatballs with the brown sugar glaze, serve the glaze on the side or serve meatballs with marinara sauce.
Notes
- Shape meatballs into 16 -24 balls.
- 3/4-1-inch for appetizer size and up to 1 1-3/4-inch in diameter for main meal.
- Use turkey meat with some fat. 99 percent fat free ground turkey will be too dry.
