Air Fryer Turkey Meatloaf
I’m obsessed with my air fryer and use it to make everything like Air Fryer Chicken Breast, Air Fryer Baked Potatoes, and even Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs! I shared a recipe for Individual Fiesta Turkey Meatloaves in my first air fryer cookbook, but I have never posted an air fryer meatloaf recipe on my blog. Since I make turkey meatloaf for dinner at least once a month because Tommy loves it, I made it in the air fryer this time. Air fryer meatloaf not only cooks more quickly than baking it in the oven but also results in a deliciously golden brown exterior while maintaining a juicy interior. And adding shredded zucchini to turkey meatloaf will give you the tenderest meat!
What’s the Best Air Fryer?
I LOVE my new All Cool Air Fryer! It’s the best air fryer I’ve ever used because it’s powerful, spacious, and and pretty for my white kitchen.
High Protein: One mini meatloaf has grams of 24.5 grams protein. Extra Veggies: Minced onion and shredded zucchini add fiber and moisture. Fast: Air frying individual turkey meatloaves is much faster than baking one large loaf. They cook in just 20 minutes! Perfect for Meal Prep: This easy turkey meatloaf recipe is excellent for meal prep since it freezes and reheats well.
Ground Turkey: 93% ground turkey is my favorite for meatloaf since it’s lean yet helps keep the meatloaf moist while still being lean. Ground beef or pork will also work. Ketchup: Adds sweetness. BBQ sauce can also be used. Quick Rolled Oats act as a binder while providing protein and fiber. I buy organic, check lables for Gluten-free. Onion: Minced onion adds moisture and flavor. Zucchini: Grated zucchini adds extra moisture. Squeeze out the liquid using paper towels or dish towels. Egg: Helps bind the meatloaf ingredients. Kosher Salt and Black Pepper season the turkey. Parsley: Mince fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
