Equipment
- Air Fryer (affiliate link)
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 500 g ground chicken or ground turkey (Note 1)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs panko recommended
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan or pecorino
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C
- Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- Portion mixture using a tablespoon and roll into balls (Note 2 & 3)
- Place meatballs in a single layer in the air fryer (Note 4). Cook for 10-15 minutes, until golden and cooked through (Note 5).
Notes
- I used ground chicken with 5% fat. If there is a lower fat percentage you may want to consider adding in some more olive oil to help keep them moist.
- Wet hands help prevent mixture from sticking when forming meatballs.
- Should make roughly 25-30 meatballs.
- Try not to overcrowd air fryer, to avoid this you might need to do more than 1 batch.
- Cooked meatballs should have an internal temperature of at least 165°F/74°C.
