Maple-Dijon Turkey Meatballs with Cranberry Goat Cheese Salad
Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup red onion finely chopped
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Salad
- 4 cups mixed greens about 5 oz
- ¼ cup raspberry vinaigrette premade store-bought
- 4 oz cranberry goat cheese crumbled
Instructions
- For the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix turkey, breadcrumbs, red onion, salt, pepper, egg, mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil.
- Roll the mixture into 1½ inch balls; you’ll get about 8 total.
- Place the meatballs in the basket of the air fryer and set to 300˚F for 16 minutes.
- Cook meatballs until cooked through and golden-brown. (For most even results, give the meatballs a shake halfway through cooking.)
- Transfer cooked meatballs to a plate to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, toss the greens with the vinaigrette.
- Sprinkle the goat cheese over the greens and serve with the meatballs
Notes
Air frying gives these terrific turkey meatballs a crisp exterior without all the massive amounts of oil and the mess of you get with pan frying. Paired with the salad, the meatballs make a terrific lunch or light supper.
