Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Mix all meatloaf ingredients gently. Don't overmix.
- 2
Shape into a loaf that fits in your air fryer basket or form in a small loaf pan.
- 3
Air fry at 375°F for 20 minutes.
- 4
Mix glaze ingredients. Spread over the top of the meatloaf.
- 5
Continue cooking 10-12 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F and glaze is caramelized. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Tip: The milk-soaked breadcrumbs (a panade) are the key to moist meatloaf — they trap moisture that lean turkey needs. Worcestershire adds deep umami flavor. Adding the glaze partway through prevents it from burning while still getting caramelized.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 30 minutes vs ~54 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
