Citrus-Spiced Turkey Fajitas in the Air Fryer
Citrus-Spiced Turkey Fajitas in the Air Fryer bring juicy strips of turkey and tender peppers together with bold chili, cumin, and a bright hit of lime. The air fryer locks in moisture while lightly charring the veggies, giving every bite a lively, peppery warmth and fresh cilantro finish. Ideal for quick weeknight dinners or a casual gathering with tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Cook the bell peppers and onion in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Shake the basket and cook for another 5 minutes. Add jalapenos and cook for 5 minutes. Open the basket, shake it, and arrange the turkey strips in a single layer on top of the vegetables. Close the basket and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Open, shake the basket to redistribute the mixture, and continue cooking until the turkey strips are slightly crispy, no longer pink in the centers, and the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more.
