Steps

45 minutes

1

Finely chop the turkey breast with a knife or use a food processor (I love this tool—it helps avoid sulfites and stabilizers).
2

Mix the ground turkey with your chosen spices.
3

Add the cheese and a good splash of milk so the mixture doesn't get too dry.
4

Form the mixture into balls for the air fryer. Instead of coating them in flour or breadcrumbs (or finely crushed cornflakes, which is another option), I found it helpful to rub a little oil on my hands.
5

Cook the meatballs in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
6

Meanwhile, make the Spanish sauce in a saucepan: sauté an onion, several carrots, and a generous spoonful of tomato. Add a pinch of salt. When it's cooked, blend the sauce and add the meatballs. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes so they absorb the flavor.
7

For the finishing touch, make some fries in the air fryer. Cut the potatoes and toss them with a little oil to make them shine, but don't overdo it. Air fry at 385°F (195°C) for 25 minutes, shaking halfway through. I like to add 2 more minutes at 400°F (205°C) to get them perfectly golden, but it always depends on how thick the potatoes are.
