    Are These Meatballs Healthier?

    I've been very careful not to ever use the term healthy on my blog. However, I feel comfortable saying these meatballs are a tad bit healthier than a traditional meatball because:

    • less saturated fat in turkey vs. beef
    • very little oil is used in air frying

    Servings 24 meatballs

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer

    Ingredients
      

    • 20 ounces Ground Turkey Meat
    • ⅓ cup minced sweet onion
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 2-3 cloves)
    • 2 large eggs
    • ¾ cup dry Italian breadcrumbs
    • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • olive oil in spray bottle if possible

    Instructions
     

    • Combine all ingredients except olive oil in a bowl. Mix with hands just until all ingredients are incorporated into meat. Shape into meatballs.
    • Place meatballs in air fryer basket. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer (I can usually fit about 20). Spritz the top of meatballs with oil spray if available, otherwise, brush a small amount of oil over tops of meatballs.
    • Cook meatballs at 400° F for 8-10 minutes. Check temperature and if not yet at 165°F, return for another 2-4 minutes.
    • Serve as desired.
