Ingredients
- 3 pound boneless turkey breast thawed
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine all seasonings and press them onto the turkey breast.

- Air fry at 350ºF for 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
- Allow turkey to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Notes
- Use a Meat Thermometer: While the cooking time provided is a good guideline, always ensure the turkey breast reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF to ensure it's safe to eat. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey breast will help you accurately gauge when it's done cooking.
- Brine for Moisture: Consider brining the turkey breast before cooking to help it retain moisture and enhance flavor. A simple brine solution of water, salt, sugar, and aromatics like herbs or garlic can infuse the turkey with extra flavor and juiciness. Brine the turkey breast for at least a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator before air frying.
- Tying the Turkey Breast: If your turkey breast is uneven in thickness, consider tying it with kitchen twine before cooking. This will help the turkey cook more evenly, ensuring that the thinner parts don't dry out before the thicker parts are fully cooked. Simply tie the turkey breast at intervals with kitchen twine to create a more uniform shape before seasoning and air frying.
