Ingredients

  • 1-pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

  • 1.5 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Mayo
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 23 cloves)
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat it to 400 degrees F.

  4. Roll the turkey mixture into balls of about 2 tablespoons per meatball
  5. Place the rolled meatballs into the air fryer basket or tray. They can be touching but don’t overlap too much. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to do this in two batches
  6. Cook on 400 degrees F. for 5 minutes. Flip the meatballs and cook an additional 5 minutes
  7. Remove the meatballs from the air fryer and serve with veggies, pasta, or in meal prep containers
