Notes
- Remove your turkey breast from the fridge about 30 minutes before you want to put it in the air fryer.
- Pat the turkey very dry first. This is important as it helps the herbs stick and the skin to crisp.
- It is important to leave enough space between the turkey and the sides of the basket to allow for proper air circulation. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and a turkey that is not fully cooked. If it does touch the sides like ours did, then you might need to cook it a bit longer.
- If your turkey starts to get a little too dark on top, you can add some foil on top for the last 15 minutes.
- Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and ensure that the turkey is moist and tender.
