Air Fryer Turkey Breast
Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Mix softened butter with sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Gently loosen the skin of the turkey breast. Spread half the herb butter under the skin, directly on the meat. Rub the rest on top of the skin.
- 3
Air fry at 360°F for 40-50 minutes, until skin is golden and internal temp reaches 165°F. If skin browns too fast, tent with foil.
- 4
Rest 15 minutes before carving — this is non-negotiable.
- 5
Slice and serve with gravy, cranberry sauce, and sides.
Tip: Butter UNDER the skin is the key to juicy, flavorful meat — the herbs baste the meat from within. Start checking temp at 35 minutes. Turkey breast is lean, so the rest period is critical for the juices to redistribute. Use a thermometer — not time — to judge doneness.
