Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean is best)
- 1/2 cup almond flour (fine ground)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. While it heats up, lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent the meatballs from sticking during the cooking process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a fork to mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can lead to tough meatballs.
- Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball roughly 1.5 inches in diameter. You should end up with about 16 to 20 meatballs. Try to keep them uniform in size so they cook evenly.
- Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching so the air can circulate freely around each one. If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to cook them in two batches.
- Cook the meatballs at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently shake the basket or use tongs to turn the meatballs. They are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the outsides are golden brown.
