Air fryer Cranberry Turkey Balls

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey or chicken
  • 4 slices dried Ezekiel or any sprouted grain bread crumbled
  • 1/2 small sweet onion minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped dried cranberries
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • avocado oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the ground meat, Ezekiel breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, chopped dried cranberries, garlic, eggs, and all seasonings.
  • Stir to combine well, then form into Tablespoon meatballs. I got around 20 meatballs using a cookie scoop.

For Air fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees f. for 5 minutes.
  • Cook the meatballs in 2 batches, to avoid overcrowding your air fryer basket.
  • Cook each batch for 12-14 min, flipping each meatball after 10 minutes of cooking.

For Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then add the meatballs to the sheet, with about 1 inch between each meatball.
  • Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  • Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
