Place a pan over medium heat. Once hot add oil and swirl around pan. Sauté shallots and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and cool for a few minutes.
Add ground turkey, sauté mixture, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
Mix together until full combined.
Form 2 tablespoon sized meatballs with the meat mixture.
Preheat air fryer to 400˚F. Lightly grease fryer basket with cooking spray. Line air fryer with a single layer of meatballs (leaving space between each for even air frying). Do this in two batches if needed. Spray the tops of the meatballs with cooking spray.
Air fry meatballs for 10 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove meatballs from air fryer and cool for a few minutes before serving.
