Air Fryer Turkey is there anything better? With more and more people staying home this Thanksgiving, I thought it would be a great time to do a little turkey in my air fryer.
I used a breast. It weighed about 8 pounds and came out absolutely fabulous, juicy, and moist. If you are scared of making a turkey in your air fryer, I hope that my recipe will put you at ease.
The first thing I did when attempting this is to figure out how I should season it. I noticed A LOT of roasted turkeys were being covered in mayonnaise. Mayo, you say? That was my first thought, and I watched a few you-tube videos on it because this was my family’s dinner later, and I needed something to feed them, so ruining it wasn’t the best idea, was it?
So, I made a mixture of mayonnaise and herbs and slathered it on the turkey. I was petrified my youngest son would have come down and found it because I knew he wouldn’t be eating it hen. But, I persevered, and by the end of the cooking process (air frying), it was AMAZING, and we started to eat it. It’s amazingly juicy and flavorful.
