No reviews

Tender, juicy air fryer turkey breast with perfectly crispy skin, made with minimal effort. This simple recipe works with bone-in or boneless turkey breast and delivers consistent, flavorful results.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

35 lb bone-in or boneless turkey breast

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tbsp herbes de Provence or poultry seasoning

1 tsp kosher salt (optional)

1 tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove the turkey breast from its packaging and pat it dry. Leave netting on if present.
  2. Rub olive oil over the turkey skin. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence, adding salt and pepper if desired. Coat all sides evenly.
  3. Place the turkey breast in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 20 minutes.
  4. Use tongs to flip the turkey and cook an additional 30 minutes at 350°F.
  5. Check the internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer. Look for 145°F in the center of a boneless breast or near (but not touching) the bone in a bone-in breast.
  6. If not at temperature, return to the air fryer and continue cooking at 350°F, checking every 5–10 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the turkey to a platter, cover with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Swap herbes de Provence for poultry seasoning for a classic flavor.

Add garlic powder or smoked paprika for a deeper, smokier taste.

For boneless turkey, rub softened butter under the skin to boost richness.

Use a thermometer rather than cooking time to prevent overcooking.
