Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey you can substitute with chicken or beef if preferred
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil optional for added moisture
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step is key to getting that lovely crisp you want on your ground turkey.
  2. While your air fryer heats up, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, olive oil (if using), and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything until just combined; avoid overmixing as this can make the turkey tough.
  3. Form the turkey mixture into small patties (about the size of a golf ball) or you can also keep it loose for crumbles if you're making something like tacos.
  4. Once your air fryer is preheated, place the turkey patties or crumbles in a single layer in the basket. Don't overcrowd it; it’s better to cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the turkey is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Once done, remove from the air fryer and allow to rest for a few minutes. This helps keep them juicy!
  7. Serve your air-fried ground turkey with your choice of sides or in your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
