Friendsgiving Recipes: Air Fryer Turkey Breast (+Other Tasty Ideas!)

Author | Angela

Servings: 6 servings

Calories: 251kcal

Prep 5 minutes minutes

Cooking 40 minutes minutes

Resting Time 10 minutes minutes

Total Time 55 minutes minutes

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

▢ 3 lb turkey breast (boneless or bone-in)
▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
▢ 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
▢ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
▢ ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Pat turkey breast dry using paper towels, then coat with olive oil and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika).
Place into your air fryer basket with the skin side up and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, then flip and continue air frying for an additional 20 minutes or until the turkey breast is done. Turkey should have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as read by a digital meat thermometer (inserted into the thickest portion of the meat).
Remove from your air fryer, place on a cutting board or serving platter, and loosely tent with a square of aluminum foil. Allow the cooked turkey breast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Plan on ½-3/4 pound of boneless turkey breast per person for each serving, or 1 pound of bone-in turkey breast for each serving per person.
The average bone-in turkey breast is between 4-10 pounds, and boneless turkey breasts range between 2 ¾-6 pounds.
Melted butter can also be used, but is more likely to burn. Use in a 1:1 ratio with olive oil for best results, or cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Fresh herbs can be added to the seasoning, or inside the turkey cavity (if preparing a bone-in turkey breast). Parsley, rosemary, and thyme are all excellent choices.
