- Roll the meat mixture into small 1 inch sized meatballs.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375° F.
- Lightly spray the basket with non stick cooking spray or olive oil spray.

Notes
- Use ground turkey or ground chicken.
- Use regular or seasoned breadcrumbs.
- If you make larger meatballs, add cooking time of an additional 10 minutes for 1 ½ inch meatballs and 15 additional minutes for 2-inch meatballs.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze cooked or raw meatballs in an airtight container or freezer bag for up 3 months. If freezing raw, it is best to flash freeze them on a baking sheet and then place them in a bag or container with parchment paper or wax paper between layers so they don't stick together.
