Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup gluten free bread crumbs plain
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce gluten free
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, and using your hands mix together until everything is combined (but not over-worked).
  • Roll the ground turkey mixture into balls, about 1 1/2-inches each, placing them on a plate or baking sheet as you make them.
  • Once all of the meatballs are formed, lightly coat the air fryer basket in non-stick cooking spray and place the meatballs in, leaving some space between each one.
  • Air fry meatballs for 15 minutes, flipping the meatballs over halfway through. They are finished when they are golden brown and reach 165°F in the middle using a meat thermometer.

Cooking Tips
  • To keep the ground turkey from sticking to your hands, keep a small cup of water next to your mixing bowl. You can wet your hands as-needed to help keep it from sticking.
  • Don't over-mix the meat mixture, just gently combine everything with your hands. 
  • It's totally fine to prep these the day before and store in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Place them on a sheet pan, and cover with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
  • The cooking time might be more or less depending on the size of your meatballs. Larger meatballs can take extra time.
  • Use a medium sized ice cream scoop to measure the meatballs and make them all the same size.
