Turkey meatloaf can dry out, so this recipe uses olive oil and milk-soaked panko for added moisture. Don't skip these ingredients. Find the complete recipe with ingredients, instructions, and air frying times on this page.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps
- 01Soak panko in milk for 2 minutes.
- 02Combine with all ingredients. The olive oil is insurance against turkey's leanness.
- 03Divide into 6 loaves. Top with ketchup.
- 04Ready for the air fryer.
Turkey meatloaf dries out faster than beef. The olive oil, milk-soaked panko, and egg are all doing moisture duty. Don't skip any of them. If your turkey is "extra lean" (99%), add another tablespoon of oil. There's a floor on how much fat you can remove before the meatloaf becomes sawdust.

How to Air Fry It
- 01Prepare 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper and form it into equal-sized mini loaves (about 4 to 5 ounces each).
- 02Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 03Place the mini loaves into the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between each.
- 04Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to brown the outside and set the shape.
- 05Brush the tops of the loaves generously with ketchup or BBQ sauce.
- 06Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Lightly spray the basket or tray before cooking.
