Protein-Packed Air-Fried Mac & Cheese Balls
Golden air-fried chickpea pasta and lean turkey spheres melded with sharp cheddar for a satisfyingly crunchy texture.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Cooked chickpea pasta
3 oz Ground turkey
1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 large Egg
2 tbsp Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Olive oil spray
PREPARATION
Finely chop the cooked chickpea pasta until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked, breaking it into very small crumbles.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pasta, cooked turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly and form the mixture into 6 to 8 tightly packed balls.
Whisk the egg in one small bowl and place the panko breadcrumbs in a second bowl.
Roll each ball in the egg wash, then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and lightly spray the basket with olive oil.
Place the balls in the basket in a single layer and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes until the exterior is crisp and golden brown.
