Equipment
- 1 Ninja XL air fryer
- 1 food processor or box grater
- 1 set of measuring spoons
- 1 Measuring Cup
- 1 Frying Pan
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 8 muffin parchment cups
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
- 1 medium carrot
- 1-2 celery rib
- ¼ yellow onion
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup plain bread crumbs
- ¼ cup milk or broth
- ¼ teaspoon salt or more by taste
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon dry sage
- ¼ teaspoon dry thyme
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dry parsley
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare 8 muffin parchment cups. In a food processor, add coarsely chopped onion, celery and carrot. Process for about 30-60 seconds or until finely grated. *See notes.
- In a frying pan, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Saute grated vegetables, stirring often, for about 5-7 minutes or until most of the moisture evaporated. Turn off the heat and let them cool down little bit.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, milk, salt and spices. Now add the sauteed vegetables. Mix everything well with silicone spatula or hand until all ingredients well combined.
- Fill the whole muffin liner with the meat mix. Repeat with the rest of the meat. Arrange the meatloaves in air fryer basket in one layer. Cook at 375°F for 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°.
- Using a fork, mix ketchup and brown sugar. Open the air fryer and spread about one teaspoon of glaze on top of each cooked meatloaf. Air fry for another 3-5 minutes to form a beautiful glaze. Let them cool down little bit and enjoy!
Notes
*if you do not have food processor (or too lazy to wash it after), use a simple grater box to grate your vegetables. Onions can be also finely diced.
*place the parchment muffin cups in a muffin pan for easier filling. If you have air fryer round muffin pan - use it. But just parchment liners works well too.
*all air fryers cook differently. My Ninja took only 15 minutes to cook these meatloaves. Always use thermometer to avoid over cooking or under cooking.
