  • cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Salad

  • 4 cups mixed greens about 5 oz

Instructions

  • For the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix turkey, breadcrumbs, red onion, salt, pepper, egg, mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil.

  • Place the meatballs in the basket of the air fryer and set to 300˚F for 16 minutes.
