Air Fryer Turkey Breast

Air Fryer Turkey Breast delivers juicy meat under crackling, herb-kissed skin thanks to a rich butter rub with rosemary, chives, and garlic. The air fryer locks in moisture while rendering the skin beautifully crisp, making it a standout centerpiece for weeknight dinners or a streamlined holiday spread. Serve warm after a brief rest for succulent slices with balanced savory notes.

Air Fryer Turkey Breast
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Place rosemary, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper on a cutting board. Slice the butter thinly over the herbs and seasonings, then mash together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Pat the turkey breast dry and rub the herbed butter on both sides and under the skin.

  4. 4

    Set the turkey in the air fryer basket, skin-side down, and air fry for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn the turkey skin-side up carefully and continue frying until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 18 minutes more. Move to a platter and tent with aluminum foil; let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
