If you are looking for even more dinner recipes, check out my Air Fryer Recipe for Hamburgers, Crispy Pork Chops, or even a Simple Air Fryer Shake and Bake Pork Chop Dinner.

With only a few key ingredients, you can have dinner on the table. I used a simple spice rub and seasoned up the turkey thighs.

Here is why to make this recipe:

  • Easy
  • Only a few ingredients
  • Air Fries Up Easily and Effortless
  • One Basket for Clean Up

Here Is How To Make Air Fryer Turkey Thighs

If you really want crispy skin, start by preheating the air fryer, set the temperature to 380 degrees F, air fryer setting for 5 minutes.

Dry off the turkey things with a paper towel, which will really help you get some crispy skin.

While the air fryer is preheating, add your spices to a small mixing bowl, then rub them onto the turkey thighs. Set them into the preheated air fryer basket (either side), set the timer for 12 minutes, and then flip the turkey thighs and air fry for another 12-15 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the turkey thighs remove when the meat thermometer reads 175 degrees F.

HOW LONG DO YOU COOK A TURKEY THIGH IN AN AIR FRYER?

Start by placing the turkey thighs into the air fryer basket in a single layer and make sure the turkey thighs do not overlap. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook your thighs in batches.

You can tell when you are done cooking pork chops when they have reached an internal temperature of 175 degrees F.

HOW LONG DO YOU AIR FRY TURKEY THIGHS?

The actual time for your air fryer turkey thighs will depend on the thickness of your thighs.

CAN I AIR FRY FROZEN TURKEY THIGHS?

Yes, although the cooking time will be increased. I would season them as they started to defrost.

    These turkey thighs were very delicious I did add water to the bottom of the air fryer so the Turkey would be juicy as I took the skin off and removed all fat. I will definitely be making this again thank you.
    On a side note I made garlic bok choy and steamed carrots to go with it and it paired perfectly.
