Tip: Turkey tenderloin is the breast equivalent — lean, tender, and quick-cooking. Don't overcook past 165°F or it dries out. The rest period lets juices redistribute. Slicing into medallions after resting gives you the best presentation.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 20 minutes vs ~36 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
