What You’ll Need
Turkey breast: You’ll want to get a turkey breast with the bone-in. If it is frozen, be sure to give it plenty of time to thaw completely in the fridge for at least 24-48 hours, depending on its size.Garlic: whole garlic heads is what you want here. The entire head will go in with the turkeyRosemary: You can usually find fresh rosemary in the produce section of the grocery store if you don’t have some on hand. While you can get away from dried rosemary, if that’s all you have, this is one of those special occasions where fresh herbs makes a difference.
How to Make Air Fryer Turkey Breast
Recipe Tips
Choosing your turkey: Use a fresh, whole, bone-in turkey breast for best flavor. Many stores allow you to reserve your turkey in advance of special holidays so that you can get a fresh turkey.Air Fryer: Depending on what kind of air fryer you have and how big your turkey breast is, you may have to use the actual air fryer dish or tray if the turkey won’t fit into the basket. Flipping it halfway through cooking time still leaves you with crisp skin and even cooking. Gravy: Be sure to see the recipe card for all the gravy instructions. Keep in mind you can add fresh herbs to the gravy also.Leftovers: If you do have any leftovers you can store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. Besides turkey sandwiches, leftover Turkey is perfect for making pot pies, soups, casseroles, or anything else you can think of! Any leftover gravy can be reheated via stovetop or microwave. Store the gravy in a covered container in the fridge.
