Description

A quick, tender turkey breast with crispy edges, perfectly seasoned and ready in 1 hour. Ideal for weeknight dinners or holidays.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon oil (like olive oil or avocado oil)
4.4 pounds turkey breast (either bone-in or boneless)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary


Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels
Brush both sides with oil
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary
Evenly coat the turkey breast with the dry rub
Place turkey breast in the air fryer basket
Cook for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing


Notes

For best juiciness, consider using a turkey breast with bone-in
Letting the turkey breast rest is crucial for retaining juices
Carve thinly for sandwiches or serve as a main dish
Cooking time may vary based on air fryer model and turkey breast size
For frozen turkey, add 20-30 minutes to cooking time and check internal temperature
