Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Sauté 1 finely chopped yellow onion for about 4 minutes until softened and golden, then add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture with 1 pound of ground turkey, ½ cup of fine bread crumbs, ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1 beaten egg, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently by hand until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into loaves about 5 x 2.5 inches each. Place the shaped meatloaves into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow even cooking. Spray them lightly with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking during the air frying process.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Once hot, place the meatloaves in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes on one side. Carefully flip the loaves halfway through cooking using tongs to ensure they cook evenly.
- While the meatloaves are cooking, mix ½ cup of ketchup with ¼ cup of light brown sugar in a bowl to create the glaze. After the initial cooking time of 15 minutes, brush the glaze generously over the top of the meatloaves and return them to the air fryer.
- Air fry the meatloaves for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize beautifully. Keep an eye on them to ensure the tops don’t burn.
