- Total Time: 22 minutes
- Diet: Low-Carb, Keto
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean is best)
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Large Egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- Olive Oil Spray
Instructions
- Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Letting it preheat for 3 to 5 minutes ensures that the meatballs start cooking immediately and get that desired golden crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to gently mix everything until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can make the meatballs tough.
- 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 get approximately 16 to 20 meatballs from the mixture.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the meatballs in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching so the air can circulate freely. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the meatballs at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently shake the basket or use tongs to turn the meatballs. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are browned on the outside.
