Air Fryer Greek Meatballs
Our air fryer Greek meatballs are made with just a few simple ingredients. They're an easy, delicious meatball recipe you'll love.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ tablespoon lemon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sumac
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs, spray the air fryer basket with oil, and place the meatballs into it with space in between them.
- Air fry the meatballs for 5 minutes. Then, flip them and air fry for another 5 minutes. They should be golden and register 165 degrees in the center with a meat thermometer.
Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
- To reheat, defrost overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Then microwave at 1-minute intervals.
- We used lemon olive oil for flavor. If you don't have that, use regular olive oil and a tablespoon of lemon zest.
- Preheat the air fryer for even cooking and accurate cooking times. It only takes about five minutes.
- The mixture will feel a bit softer than you're used to if you normally use ground beef. That's okay!
- Don't overwork your meat mixture. Mixing too much leads to contraction as the meatballs cook and dry out.
- The meatballs are done when their internal temperature registers 165 degrees. Cooking times vary depending on the individual air fryer and the size of your meatballs.
