How to Air Fry Turkey Meatballs
Краткий ответ
For turkey meatballs — medium turkey meatballs (1½-inch diameter) — start with 380°F (195°C) for an estimated 12–15 minutes. Flip or turn at about 7 minutes. Check 165°F (74°C) inside before removal. Use the preparation steps below and the full table for other sizes or starting conditions.

Keeping Them Moist
Turkey is leaner than beef, so adding moisture to the mix is important. Soak a piece of bread (1 slice, crusts removed) in 2 tablespoons of milk and add to the mixture. Finely grated onion, olive oil, and a beaten egg also contribute to a juicier result.
Mixing and Forming
Combine ground turkey with soaked bread, egg, grated parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Mix with your hands until just combined — overmixing creates dense meatballs. Roll into 1.5-inch balls. Refrigerate 15 minutes to firm up before cooking.
Temperature and Time
Place meatballs in the basket with a little space between each one. Use the medium turkey meatballs (1½-inch diameter) preparation. Set the air fryer to 380°F (195°C); the starting range is 12–15 minutes. Turn or shake at about 7 minutes as appropriate for the food. Check at the lower end and continue as needed; thickness, load and the appliance affect the actual time. Verify at least 165°F (74°C) inside before removal.
Serving
Serve with marinara and pasta, in a meatball sub, over mashed potatoes, or in a grain bowl. Turkey meatballs freeze well after cooking — freeze in a single layer, then transfer to bags. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 6–8 minutes from frozen.
