Air Fryer Lemon Pepper or Herbed Turkey Breast

Prep Time

5 mins

Cook Time

55 mins

Total Time

1 hr

 

Based on 3 pound deboned turkey breasts (or 4 pounds bone-in).
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.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Air Fryer

Servings: 6 Servings

Calories: 400 kcal

Ingredients

• 3 pounds de-boned uncooked turkey breast *see recipe head note
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper or dried herb seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt , or to taste

Directions

1. Pat the turkey dry.

2. Combine oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon pepper or herbs, and salt in a bowl or plastic bag. Add the turkey to the marinade, making sure the marinade completely coats the turkey breast. If possible, marinate for 1-2 hours.

3. Lightly oil the air fryer basket. Remove the turkey from the marinade and place the turkey breast skin-side down in the air fryer basket.

4. Air Fry at 350°F for 25 minutes. Flip the turkey breast to skin side up, and Air Fry for another 25-35 minutes until internal temperature of turkey reaches 165°F in the thickest part. If you’re cooking bone-in turkey breast, cook for additional 5-10 minutes if needed.

5. NOTE: To keep turkey breast from drying out (especially if it is skinless), spray the turkey top and edges with a little oil a couple times during cooking to keep it moist. It's like "basting" the turkey breast with oil. This is helpful if you have a bigger breast.

6. NOTE on SIZE: Some breasts are thinner or sometimes broken into several pieces including the tenderloin. If you're cooking separate smaller pieces, then cooking time is much less. If you want a "whole" looking breast when you have multiple pieces, then tie the pieces together with some kitchen string. This will give the breast a whole looking shape. Then marinate the breast according to the instructions.
