Equipment

Ingredients

2.5-3 lb bone-in turkey breast
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon + garlic salt or salt + pinch of garlic powder
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
¼ teaspoon + herbs de Provence or Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350F for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the oil, garlic salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to help make clean-up easier.
Use paper towels to pat the turkey breast dry on both sides.
Use a basting brush to brush both sides of the turkey breast with the oil and herb mixture.
Place the seasoned turkey breast on the air fryer rack with the breast piece facing down.
Cook the turkey breast for 25 minutes.
Flip the turkey breast over and brush with butter.
Finish cooking for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make an air fryer turkey leg following the same steps! Simply cook the turkey leg to an internal temperature of 160F.
If your air fryer has a rotisserie option, feel free to use that instead of your air fryer basket to make your air fryer bone-in turkey breast. Be sure to not exceed the weight limits of your model.
To cook the turkey breast in the oven, use the same steps, it just might take a little longer to cook.
While the turkey breast in the recipe was 2.5-3 lb, many air fryers will hold up to 4 lbs. It'll of course just take longer to cook.
