Rub the herb butter mixture all over the turkey breast, ensuring even coverage.

Drizzle olive oil over the turkey breast for added moisture.

Place the turkey breast in the air fryer basket, skin side up.

Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Baste the turkey with juices halfway through cooking for extra flavor.

Remove the turkey from the air fryer and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
