Ingredients
- 3.7 lb boneless turkey breast
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the boneless turkey from its mesh casing and lay it flat (butterflied) on a plate or workstation. Laying it flat will help it cook faster without it drying out.
- Pat it dry on both sides with a kitchen paper towel.
- In a small bowl, add parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Drizzle olive oil on the boneless turkey and rub it all over. Divide the seasoning mix into two and rub each half on both sides of the turkey breast.
- Preheat your air fryer to 365F / 180C for 5 minutes. Spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Carefully place the seasoned boneless turkey skin side up in the air fryer basket and cook for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach at least 165F /74C to be considered safe to eat.
- Remove from the air fryer and transfer to a plate. Cover it loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 10-20 minutes before you serve or slice it. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips
- When you flip the turkey, tilt the air fryer basket to one side and use the oil in the air fryer basket to baste the turkey to keep it moist.
- If you want to cook your turkey faster eg, you need it another dish, then you can slice it up before you cook it, season it, and cook it half the time specified in the recipe.
- Allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking for even and faster cooking.
- Swap olive oil for avocado oil or melted unsalted butter.
- I used a large turkey breast (3.7lb). If using a small-sized one, adjust the timing accordingly, as it would cook faster.
Start checking the internal temperature from 30 minutes so that you don't overcook the turkey. - Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique seasoning blend.
- It is important to rest the turkey after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier and more flavorful meat.
