Turkey Meatball Recipe (Air Fryer)
These Air Fryer Turkey Meatballs incorporate good fats like Greek yogurt and olive oil to ensure a juicy (never dry!) and flavorful result every time.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ⅓ cup minced white onion
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 pound 85% lean ground turkey
- Nonstick cooking spray
For the Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- Pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
Make the Meatballs:
- In large bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, milk, oil and yogurt. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, onion, oregano, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and stir until well combined.
- Add turkey and stir (or mix with hands) until just combined. Do not overmix. Using hands, gently form into 24 meatballs (each using about 1-1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture and ending up about 1-inch wide).
- If necessary, preheat or set air fryer to 400 degrees F. Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. In batches, transfer meatballs to basket and cook 10 minutes or until lightly browned and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, turning once.
Make Yogurt Sauce:
- In small bowl, stir together yogurt, dill, mint and salt and pepper.
- Serve meatballs with yogurt sauce.
Notes
- Home Chef Tip: To cook meatballs in oven, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray rimmed baking pan with cooking spray and place meatballs on pan. Bake meatballs 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
