Juicy Air Fryer Turkey Breast - SO EASY!
Enjoy a juicy and flavorful turkey breast seasoned with fresh rosemary and thyme, cooked perfectly in the air fryer for an easy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 5-lb Bone-in turkey breast (or any size you have; can also use boneless turkey breast)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 10 cloves Garlic (peeled and coarsely chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (177°C) for 5 minutes.
- Pat the turkey breast completely dry with paper towels. Rub the entire turkey with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with sea salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme.
- Gently loosen the skin of the turkey breast and tuck the chopped garlic pieces underneath the skin. Place any remaining garlic on top of the turkey.
- Place the seasoned turkey breast into the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry for 55-60 minutes for a 5lb bird, flipping halfway through. Cook for 10-13 minutes per pound (bone-in). The turkey is ready when the skin is golden brown and crispy, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 165°F (74°C).
Notes
- Ensure your turkey breast is completely dry before seasoning for the crispiest skin.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to guarantee the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If your air fryer cooks unevenly, consider rotating the turkey halfway through its cooking time. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
