Air Fryer Turkey Breasts
Description
Air Fryer Turkey Breasts features a 6-pound bone-in turkey breast rubbed with melted butter and a savory blend of poultry seasoning, garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. The air fryer method cooks it evenly at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing the skin to develop seasoning without drying out the meat. The turkey is cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, a safe level for poultry, then rested for 10 minutes to keep the juices inside before slicing. This cooking technique produces tender, flavorful white meat with a nicely seasoned crust.
The turkey breast can be sliced and served as the main dish or used for sandwiches, salads, or leftovers. Cooking in the air fryer reduces the need for roasting volume and can be more energy-efficient for smaller portions compared to a whole oven roast.
Ingredients
- 6 pound turkey breast defrosted, bone-in
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 Tbsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. *If you air fryer does not have a preheat oven, run it at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Rub the melted butter and the minced garlic all over the turkey breast.
- Mix all the other seasoning together in a small bowl and then rub this seasoning mixture all over the skin side of the turkey breast.
- Place the turkey breast in the air fryer and cook for 45-55 minutes depending on the size of your breast until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Let the turkey breast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
