Description
This Air Fryer Turkey Breast recipe delivers juicy meat and perfectly crispy skin in under an hour. Ideal for weeknights or a simplified holiday dinner, it’s seasoned with classic herbs and cooked to perfection in your air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lb bone-in turkey breast (skin-on, ribs removed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon dry poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set to 350°F and let it warm up for 3–5 minutes.
- Season the turkey: Rub half the olive oil over the turkey. Season with salt, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder. Rub the remaining oil over the skin.
- Air fry skin-side down: Place turkey breast in the basket skin-side down. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Flip and continue cooking: Turn the turkey over and cook for another 30–40 minutes, until the internal temp reaches 160°F.
- Rest and carve: Let it rest for 10–15 minutes tented with foil. Slice and serve.
Notes
Always use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness. Letting the turkey rest after cooking keeps it juicy. For boneless turkey breast, reduce total cook time by 10–15 minutes.
