Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried or fresh basil Enhances flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line your air fryer trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, Italian bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder, and basil. Mix gently until well combined.
  3. Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to portion out the turkey mixture and roll each portion into a tightly formed ball.
  4. Place the meatballs on the prepared air fryer trays or in a well-greased basket.
Cooking
  1. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-18 minutes, rotating the trays at the 8-minute mark for even cooking.
  2. Once cooked, serve warm on their own, with marinara sauce, or alongside pasta.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce or onion powder. Avoid overcooking to maintain the meatballs' juiciness.
