Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ pound lean ground turkey
  • ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions 

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, egg, milk, parsley, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  2. Add the ground beef and ground turkey to the bowl and gently mix until just incorporated. Form the mixture into 16 evenly sized meatballs.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  4. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Reduce the temperature to 380°F.
  5. Cook for 12–14 minutes, until the meatballs are browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Let the meatballs rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Helpful Tips
  • Because air fryer models can vary, begin checking for doneness a few minutes early to prevent overcooking. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
