Now this stuffed version is even more flavorful and juicy because of the stuffing. You can adapt the stuffing ingredients to what ever you want. As long as the stuffing is precooked, you’re ready to go! The recipe is for 2 stuffed breasts, but if you only want to make 1, save the stuffing for other recipes, or make the 2 stuffed breasts, and save the second one for another meal.

How to Cook Air Fried Stuffed Turkey Breast 

• Make sure your turkey breast is boneless and about 1.5 pounds. That way it can cook in a 4-6 qt air fryer basket. If it’s too large it will only cook in an oven style air fryer. We often find the breasts sold in packs of 2, so the recipe is written for two 1.5 lb. breasts. If you have a basket style air fryer, you’ll only have space to cook one stuffed breast at a time. Save the second breast in the fridge until ready to cook.
• Follow our photo tutorial and recipe at the end of this write up.
• You’ll have clear instructions on cooking a delicious stuffed turkey breast for Thanksgiving, Holidays or everyday dinner.
• Our recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving especially when you have limited oven space. The clean up is easy too and you can easily serve a hungry gathering with juicy turkey. 
• Hope you all enjoy this air fryer recipe and share it with your family, friends and loved ones! Let us know what you think of the recipe. Enjoy! 

Air Fryer Stuffed Turkey Breast “Roll” with Bacon, Spinach/Kale, & Parmesan

Yield: 8 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes mins

Cook Time: 45 minutes mins

Total Time: 1 hour hr

Based on two (1.5 pound) deboned turkey breasts. If not using bacon, replace with 2 Tablespoons oil or butter. Try to keep the skin-on turkey because it keeps the meat moist during cooking. Make sure to have a kitchen thermometer on hand to check temperature to ensure it’s cooked. See the great step-by-step photos in the write-up above recipe.

We usually find the turkey breasts sold in packs of 2 breasts, so the recipe is written that way. If you only have 1 turkey breast, you can easily halve the filling or save it for other uses.

• 4 oz. (113 g) mushrooms , sliced
• 1/2 small onion , diced

• 2 cups (480 ml) chopped fresh kale or spinach (if frozen use 1 cup, thawed, then squeeze out water)

• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper , or to taste
• 1/4 cup (25 g) shredded parmesan cheese or crumbled feta

Equipment

• Air Fryer
• optional - Instant Read Thermometer

Instructions 

Make the Filling:

• Heat pan add bacon and cook until bacon starts to become crispy. Add onion, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms shrink and release moisture.
• Add kale/spinach and cook until softened. Add dried herbs, salt and pepper and stir. Remove pan from heat.
• Stir in cheese and set filling aside.

Prepare the turkey:

• Place plastic wrap on top of each turkey breast and pound thinner into an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick.
• Place the turkey breast skin side down. Divide the filling between the tw turkey breasts. Fold one edge of turkey breast over and make into a roll. Tie turkey breast. Repeat with the other turkey breast.
• Season top of tied breasts with additional salt and pepper. Coat air fryer basket with oil and then place the turkey skin-side down in the basket. (If you have a larger oven-style air fryer you'll be able to cook the two breasts at once (just make sure they aren't touching). However if you have a basket-style air fryer, you'll only be able to cook one breast at a time. Keep the second breast in the fridge until ready to cook.)
• Air Fry at 360°F for 20 minutes. Flip the turkey breast to be skin-side up and Air Fry again for 10-20 minutes or until internal temperature of turkey reaches 165°F the thickest part. Allow to rest for 5 minutes and then slice and serve.
