Equipment
- 1 Air fryer oven or basket style
Ingredients
- 2.5-3 lb turkey breast bone in, skin on split breast
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon + garlic salt or ½ teaspoon salt + ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon + herbs de Provence or Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Mix the extra virgin olive oil, garlic salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence in a small bowl. Preheat the air fryer at 350 F for 5 minutes.
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to remove the extra moisture.
- Brush both sides of the turkey breast with the oil and herb mixture and place the turkey in the air fryer basket, with the breast facing down.
- The turkey will take about 55 minutes to cook in total. Air fry the turkey at 350F for 25 minutes. Flip it over and continue air frying until the internal temperature reaches 165F when a thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Brush it with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- Let the turkey breast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels before seasoning. Removing extra moisture is the secret to crispy skin.
- Always preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes to help the turkey cook evenly from the start.
- Always use a meat thermometer to check doneness. Turkey breast is ready when the thickest part reaches 165°F.
