Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless turkey breast thawed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Rub the turkey breast with avocado oil. Then sprinkle the turkey breast with spices and fresh herbs.
  • Place the turkey breast in the air fryer skin side up. Cook at 370F for 20 minutes.
  • Then flip the turkey breast and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Mine was at 140F so I slipped it again and cooked for an additional 5 minutes until it reached 165F.
  • Let the turkey rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.

Notes

  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand you can replace them with dry seasonings but half of the amount. Example, instead of 1 teaspoon fresh thyme use ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Don't skip on the resting time, if you carve the turkey breast without waiting it can become dry.
  • Optional, you can blot the boneless breast with paper towels to make the oil and herbs stick better
  • If you want to make this recipe even easier, try seasoning the turkey breast with poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Store leftover turkey breast in an airtight container, they're perfect for an easy weeknight meal.
