Here are some tips for Air Frying Turkey A Turkey Breast,
- Seasoning your turkey is important, you should always apply salt and pepper on both sides. I also usually use a neutral poultry seasoning, this starts giving your turkey a nice flavor.
- If you need to prepare the turkey breast in advance, what I do is clean the turkey breast, season it well, then cover and refrigerate, until the time comes for air frying.
- Olive oil will give your turkey skin a great crisp, just remember to use your hands to rub the olive oil over the turkey breast. Your hands are the greatest tool for doing this.
- Always flip the turkey halfway, and then coat the turkey with olive oil again. This helps the entire turkey come out the best, tender, and juicy.
- Because eating uncooked turkey can lead to illness, it’s always best to use a meat thermometer to determine when the turkey is done. Since all air fryers are different.
This is my favorite meat thermometer, it’s easy to read one:
