Here is a great recipe, which is a twist on a basic turkey cutlet dish. This was one of my mother’s favorite go-to meals when I was a child.
It is almost a replica of a semi Thanksgiving, serve it with a side of cranberry sauce, and you have all of the trimmings of Thanksgiving, including:
Mashed Potatoes
Stuffing
Gravy
And your meal will be done in less than 20 minutes, from start to finish. This is a great time saver.
Like most meats, there are a few tricks to getting the best quality finished product,
Here are some tips for Air Frying Turkey:
- Seasoning your turkey, I always put some salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning on my turkey, before popping it into the air fryer. My favorite poultry seasoning can be found here.
- Most turkey dishes can be prepared ahead of time, just keep them covered in the refrigerator, to prevent the meat from drying out.
- Spraying the turkey with olive oil spray, or if you don’t have a sprayer, rubbing the turkey breast with olive oil, before seasoning. This will keep your turkey meat nice and juicy.
- Always flip the turkey halfway, and then spray, or coat the turkey breast with olive oil, again. This way both sides come out nice and juicy and tender.
- Because eating ANY uncooked poultry poses a health risk, and extremely unhealthy do yourself a favor, and invest in a meat thermometer
This is my favorite meat thermometer, it’s easy to read one:
