How To Make Frozen Air Fryer Boneless Turkey Breast

Step One: Remove the frozen turkey breast from the package, unwrapping the frozen turkey breast from the plastic wrap.

Step Two: Place the frozen turkey breast in the air fryer basket. Set air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F, set cook time for 15 minutes. Then brush the frozen breast with a little olive oil to help it crisp. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Don’t be shy, these seasonings will make all the difference.

Step Three: Continue to cook your frozen turkey breast, at 350 degrees F, for another 25-30 until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, but inserting the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast. The exact time will be determined by the thickness of your turkey breast, and the air fryer you own.

Easy Frozen Air Fryer Boneless Turkey Breast Recipe Tips
- Don’t Preheat – The frozen turkey roast will come out much better if you DO NOT Preheat.
- Use a Meat Thermometer – Check for 165°F (74°C) internally to avoid undercooking.
- Flip Halfway – Helps the turkey brown evenly on both sides.
- Brush with Oil – Keeps the outside crispy without drying out the meat. You can also brush with melted butter.
- Rest Before Slicing – Letting it sit 5–10 minutes locks in juices.
- Add Herbs at the End – Fresh rosemary or thyme enhances flavor without burning.
- Adjust Time for Size – Bigger breasts may need a few extra minutes in the air fryer.
Storing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Place leftover turkey breast in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 325°F (165°C) for 5–10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, cover and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes.
