These air fryer turkey meatballs can be used in so many ways. I am no stranger to a good meatball like these Basic Meatballs, Parmesan Pesto Chicken Meatballs and Porcupine Meatballs

If you like baked turkey meatballs you will LOVE these air fryer meatballs. I have been using my air fryer almost everyday. It crisps foods perfectly on the outside and keeps it juicy and moist on the inside. 

Ingredients Needed: ground turkey, egg, panko bread crumbs, soy sauce and parsley

Why this Recipe Works

  • Making these in the air fryer makes for easy cleanup, no oven required and fast!
  • Can be used for many different meals.
  • Using ground turkey is a good source of lean protein. 

HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER TURKEY MEATBALLS 

  • Mix together ground turkey, egg, panko crumbs, parsley and soy sauce until combined.

Ingredients for turkey meatballs in a bowl

  • Roll the mixture into small, 1-inch balls.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Put half of the meatballs in the basket.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. I like to stop at the 5 minute mark and flip meatballs over. Cook for additional 5 minutes.

  • Set cooked meatballs aside and place the other uncooked meatballs in the air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes.

Tips for the Perfect Meatball

  • Don’t over mix to ensure tender meatballs.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the mix for Italian turkey meatballs.
  • Be sure not to crowd the air fryer basket. Cook in two batches to ensure they get cooked evenly.

CAN YOU FREEZE TURKEY MEATBALLS

Yes! Cook the meatballs and let them completely cool. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Place the frozen meatballs into a freezer safe bag or container. 

When ready to cook, thaw meatballs and place them back in air fryer for 5 minutes or bake or warm in slow cooker.

This is the same Air Fryer I use at home. I cook with it almost everyday and we love it! 

Turkey meatballs are great served with a side dish or used for meal prep. I will double the recipe and have them for several days during the week. Serve them rice, pasta, zucchini noodles, roasted veggies or even in a sandwich. 

Enjoy!
