Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey breast boneless
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350F. Remove the 1 pound turkey breast from the fridge about 40 minutes before cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning ( 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepperwith the 2 teaspoons avocado oil.
- Rub the turkey with the seasoned oil on all sides.
- Carefully place it in the preheated air fryer basket.
- Cook for around 30 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165F. The breast can be very different in terms of thickness so it's best to always use a meat thermometer to make sure it's fully cooked. Also, note that if you double the recipe and cook 2 breasts at the same time, the cooking time will be longer.
- Allow the turkey to rest after cooking, then slice it.

Notes
- Use boneless turkey breast. You can use skin-on or skinless turkey breast.
- I like to use a food thermometer to check for doneness because the cooking time varies based on the thickness and size of the turkey breast.
- Feel free to use different seasonings of your choice.
- Allow the turkey breast to sit for 10 minutes for the juices to settle before cutting.
- Don't forget to flip the turkey breast a few times in between cooking so you don't burn the top of the turkey breast that is facing upwards.
