How To Make Air Fryer Ground Turkey
First let’s season the ground turkey. Add it to the air fryer basket, then top with salt and pepper. Use a spatula to break up the ground turkey into pieces, while mixing it with the seasonings.
Place basket back in air fryer. Heat to 400 degrees for 10 minutes, pausing halfway through cooking time to pull out the air fryer basket and mix up the ground turkey.
Once the meat is done cooking, open up the air fryer and check the turkey. Stir it around with a spatula, making sure the ground turkey is cooked through and no longer pink.
If the turkey is ready to be served, scoop it out of the basket and into a serving bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to break the meat up a little more, if necessary. Then top with more seasonings, sauce, or serve as is!
