Ingredients
Turkey Meatballs
- 1 lb ground turkey
- ½ medium onion chopped
- 1 ½ tsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Buffalo Sauce
- ¼ cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp cold water
Instructions
Air Fryer Turkey Meatballs
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. In a medium bowl add the turkey, onion, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands just until combined.
- Roll heaping teaspoons of the turkey mixture into balls and place them on an air-fryer tray leaving space in between each so air can circulate. Air fry for 15 minutes. Remove from the air-fryer and set aside.
Buffalo Sauce
- In a small pot add the hot sauce and butter and melt together over medium-high heat.
- In a small cup add the cornstarch and water together and mix well to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the pot of buffalo sauce to thicken. Let simmer for a minute or two until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
Assembly
- Place the cooked turkey meatballs in a bowl, toss with the buffalo sauce and serve hot.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat stovetop or in the microwave.
Options: Serve plain without sauce or with BBQ sauce, marinara sauce or any sauce you like on meatballs.
Serve the sauce on the side for dipping instead of tossing them in a sauce.
