Air Fryer Turkey Breast Ingredients: 1 (4-6 lb) bone-in, skin-on turkey breast, ribs removed* or 1 (3 lb) boneless roast** 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp kosher salt 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped 2 tsp fresh sage, chopped 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp Dijon mustard Mushroom Gravy, optional for serving Directions: Prep the Turkey: Remove turkey from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for at least 5 minutes. Season the Turkey: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, rosemary, sage, thyme, black pepper, and mustard. Rub the mixture evenly over the turkey breast. Cook in Air Fryer: Place the turkey in the air fryer basket, skin-side down (see notes if using a turkey with ribs still attached). Cook for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the turkey over. Continue Cooking: Cook for an additional 30-50 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat reads 155°F (temperature will rise as it rests). Note: Boneless turkey breast with netting may take longer to cook than bone-in turkey breast without netting. Rest and Carve: Transfer turkey to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes. To carve, slice along each side of the breastbone to remove breast meat in large pieces, then cut crosswise into slices. Serve hot or at room temperature, with mushroom gravy if desired.
