Creating Air Fryer Turkey Meatballs is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, mix the ingredients until just combined. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the meatballs in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not touching.
5. Cook: Air fry the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and cooked through.
6. Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Serve: Carefully remove the meatballs from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
