Air Fryer Turkey Meatballs Recipe

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber and are often less expensive.

ground turkey

🥗Healthier: ground chicken

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground chicken is lower in fat, while ground beef may be more accessible.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal serves as a binder with added nutrients.

Mix together 1 egg, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs to the mixture and mix well.

Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the well-mixed ingredients and combine gently until just incorporated.

Divide the mixture into four equal portions.

Moisten your hands under running water to prevent the meat from sticking, then shape each portion into three meatballs.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Place the meatballs in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes.

Flip the meatballs and continue cooking for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until no longer pink inside.
