Air Fryer Turkey Breast with Herbs

Serves 6 in about 1 hour. Sprig thyme goes in first, and sprig rosemary finishes the pot.

Ingredients

• 2-5 pound turkey breast, bone-in or boneless, with or without skin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
• 1 sprig fresh thyme, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced (or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Method

1. If the turkey breast comes in a baking bag, remove it from the bag. Be sure the turkey is thawed all the way through.
2. Pat turkey dry with a paper towel or non-terry cloth kitchen towel.
3. Set oil and herbs, salt, pepper in a bowl and mix well. With a basting brush, brush the oil mixture over the entire turkey breast.
4. Heat the air fryer for 2 minutes on 350°.
5. Set turkey in the air fryer basket - skin side down and cook for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, using tongs, flip the turkey breast over and continue air frying for about 20 more minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160° F (Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature after 30 minutes and every 5 minutes after).
7. Lift out from the air fryer with tongs and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before slicing (the internal temp will rise while resting to get to the desired 165° F).
8. Slice and serve.
