Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 4 pound (1814 grams) boneless skin-on turkey breast
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 teaspoons fresh rosemary minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
  • Pat the turkey breast dry with a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, just one tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and the pepper.
  • Gently lift the skin away from the meat. Rub about ¾ of the butter mix evenly under the skin so that it coats the meat.
  • Rub the remaining butter mixture over the outside of the turkey.
  • Then drizzle the turkey breast with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and rub that all over the breast.
  • Put the turkey breast in the air fryer basket, with the skin side up.
  • Cook at 375 °F (190 °C) for 30-35 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 °F (71 °C).
  • Take the turkey out of the air fryer and cover with foil.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes, or until the temperature has reached 165 °F (74 °C).
  • Slice and serve!
  • Refrigerate cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
