Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 3 pound Half Turkey Breast

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a small bowl place the softened butter and combine with the seasonings. Mix together until well blended. Begin to massage the butter mixture over the top of the turkey breast and underneath the skin.
    ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ cup Unsalted Butter, 3 pound Half Turkey Breast
  • Place the turkey breast, skin side up and cook for 40 minutes flipping halfway through.
  • Remove from the Air Fryer and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Half Turkey Breast - Depending on the size of your Air Fryer will depend on what size turkey breast you can fit in it. I have a 6 quart Air Fryer, so a 3 pound half turkey breast fits in it perfectly.
  • Brineing - I always brine my turkey breast before cooking. This will ensure a nice juice and flavorful turkey.
