Air Fried Turkey Breast with Herb Butter

Cultural Context

Air Fried Turkey Breast with Herb Butter is a modern twist on traditional roasted turkey, often served during holidays like Thanksgiving in the United States. The air fryer method allows for a quicker cooking time while achieving a crispy exterior and juicy interior. This dish celebrates the use of fresh herbs, which enhance the turkey's flavor and aroma. In recent years, air frying has gained popularity for its ability to create healthier versions of classic fried foods, making this dish a favorite among health-conscious cooks.

4 servings
Servings4
1 pound turkey breast (boneless skinless)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (alternatively rosemary and oregano)
1/4 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste)

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats and reduces saturated fat.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: mixed Italian seasoning

Dried herbs are more accessible and have a longer shelf life.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and can be made at home.

1

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2

Meanwhile, add the minced garlic, oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to a small bowl and mix all these spices together.

3

Place the fresh turkey breast on a large plate. Brush the turkey breast with the oil and spice mix on both sides.

4

When the air fryer is hot, add the turkey breast into the air fryer basket.

5

Air fry the turkey breast at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes until fully cooked. Flip after 15 minutes in the air fryer. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit - it’s best to check with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey breast. If your turkey breast is bigger than one pound, the cook time will be longer, likely between 30 and 40 minutes. Every air fryer cooks different so these times are guidelines only and can vary.

6

When the turkey breast is done, remove it from the air fryer and place it on a plate. Cover it with tin foil and let it rest for 7-10 minutes. This is important as it allows the juices to reabsorb (don’t skip this step). Then serve with side dishes of your choice. Enjoy!
