Air Fryer Garlic-Rosemary Turkey Breast
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 2 3/4 pounds skin-on, bone-in split turkey breast
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Prepare the herb mixture by placing rosemary, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper on a flat surface. Use a knife to finely chop the herbs and mix with butter until it forms a smooth paste.
3
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then, spread a generous amount of the herb butter evenly onto both sides of the turkey breast, making sure to also rub some under the skin.
4
Carefully place the turkey breast into the air fryer basket, with its skin side facing downwards. Cook for 20 minutes at this temperature.
5
Turn the turkey over so that its skin side is now facing upwards. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). This should take approximately 18 minutes more.
6
Transfer the cooked turkey to a serving platter and cover it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, during which time the juices will redistribute and make the turkey even more tender.
7
Slice the rested turkey breast into thin pieces and serve it warm, garnished with any additional herbs or sides of your choice.
