Air Fryer Turkey Breast
Description
The Air Fryer Turkey Breast employs a straightforward seasoning of kosher salt and poultry or turkey seasoning alongside olive oil rubbed evenly on the skin and meat. Cooking on a preheated 350°F air fryer first with skin down helps crisp the skin and locks in juices. Turning the breast to cook the other side ensures even cooking throughout the bone-in piece. Using an instant-read thermometer to reach 160°F internal temperature guarantees the meat is safe and juicy without dryness.
Resting the turkey breast for about 10 minutes after cooking allows juices to redistribute for tender slices. This simple approach avoids complicated brining or marinating, relying on seasoning and controlled air fryer conditions to produce a flavorful poultry dish.
This turkey breast can be carved and served hot or saved for leftovers. The note about smart points indicates that removing the skin reduces fat content.
Ingredients
- 4 pound turkey breast (on the bone with skin (ribs removed))
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher
- 1/2 tablespoon turkey seasoning I used Bell’s which has not salt, dry; or poultry seasoning
Instructions
- Rub 1/2 tablespoon of oil all over the turkey breast. Season both sides with salt and turkey seasoning then rub in the remaining half tablespoon of oil over the skin side.
- Preheat the air fryer 350F and cook skin side down 20 minutes, turn over and cook until the internal temperature is 160F using an instant-read thermometer about 30 to 40 minutes more depending on the size of your breast. Let is rest 10 minutes before carving.
Notes
- Skin-on turkey breast gives extra flavor; removing skin lowers fat and smart points.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to verify the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe doneness.
- Let turkey rest for 10 minutes after cooking to help retain juices before slicing.
