1

Let the turkey breast sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat both sides dry with paper towels.

2

In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Loosen the skin on the breast and rub ½ of the butter mixture under the skin. Rub the remaining butter all over the outside of the turkey breast. Sprinkle all over with the remaining salt and pepper.

3

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.

4

Place the turkey in the basket skin-side up and air fry for 10 minutes. Flip the turkey over and air fry for 30 minutes. Flip the turkey again and air fry until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature is 160F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
