Air Fryer Ground Turkey Food

AIR FRYER TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees.
• Add the ground turkey, cracker crumbs, egg, chives, and seasoned salt to a mixing bowl and use your hands to combine the mixture.
• Shape into 4 patties. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each patty to help the burger hold it's shape better during cooking.
• Place in the air fryer and cook for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. The burgers should be 165 degrees internally. Continue cooking in 1 minute intervals if necessary to reach temperature.
• Remove from the air fryer and place on a plate. Top with sliced cheese, if desired. Cover tightly with foil.
• Spread the buns with butter and place butter side up in the air fryer. Cook at 360 for 1 minute or until as toasted as you prefer.
• If your cheese has not melted on the burgers under the foil, return to the air fryer for 1 minute with the air fryer turned off. The residual heat will finish melting the cheese.
• Assemble the burgers and top with your favorite toppings.

AIR FRYER TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine panko, Parmesan cheese, pesto, egg, milk, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl; mix together. Add ground turkey and lightly fold into the mixture--the more you mix the tougher it will be.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
• Shape ground turkey mixture into 1-1/2 inch meatballs and place into the air fryer basket.
• Cook meatballs in the air fryer until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

HEALTHY AIR FRYER TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH ZOODLES

Steps:

• Toss the zoodles with a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Let sit until the zoodles begin to soften and release some excess liquid, about 10 minutes. Pat them dry and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a medium bowl and let sit while the breadcrumbs soften and absorb most of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey, ricotta, parsley, Parmesan, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of black pepper to the breadcrumb mixture, then mix thoroughly with your hands to combine. Form into 12 meatballs (each about 1 1/2 tablespoons and 1-inch wide).
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F. Spray the inside of the basket with cooking spray and add the meatballs, leaving some space between each for air circulation. Air fry until golden brown on the outside and just cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning the meatballs about halfway through the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, warm the tomato sauce in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the sauce, lower the heat to low and keep warm.
• Season the zoodles with a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Air fry at 400 degrees F until tender and starting to brown at the edges, tossing halfway through, 5 to 6 minutes. Divide the zoodles between 2 dinner plates or shallow bowls, then top each with 6 meatballs and spoon the warm tomato sauce over top. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

AIR FRYER THANKSGIVING TURKEY

Steps:

• Mix together the salt, thyme, rosemary, pepper, sage, garlic powder, paprika and brown sugar in a small bowl.
• Brush the turkey breast with olive oil and rub on both sides with the dry rub mixture, making sure to get under the skin wherever possible. Put the turkey skin-side down in the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer and roast at 360 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Carefully open the air fryer and flip the turkey over so it is skin-side up. Close the air fryer and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F, about an additional 15 minutes. Let rest at least 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
