Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Allow it to heat up for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a more even and crispy texture.
Remove the turkey breast tenderloins from the package. If they have excess liquid, pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for getting a nice sear in the air fryer.
Optionally, you can spray a light coating of oil over the tenderloins and season them with your chosen spices or herbs. This adds extra flavor and aids in achieving a golden crust.
Place the turkey tenderloins in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The time might vary slightly depending on the size of the tenderloins and your air fryer model.
Use a meat thermometer to check if the tenderloins have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This is the safe temperature for cooked poultry.
Once cooked, let the turkey rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices, making the meat moister.
Serve the tenderloins sliced, either as the main protein in a dish or added to salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
