Ingredients Method Notes

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)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (177°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
