Notes

Storing and Reheating Air Fryer Turkey Breast Cutlets:
Storing:
  1. Cool Completely: Before storing, allow your air-fried turkey breast cutlets to cool to room temperature. This prevents condensation which can make the cutlets soggy.
  2. Airtight Containers or Plastic Wrap: Store the cutlets in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing odors from the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap.
  3. Refrigeration: Stored correctly, your turkey breast cutlets should last 3-4 days in the fridge.
  4. Freezing: If you wish to store them for a longer duration, place the cooled cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top freezer bag and press out as much air as possible before sealing. Label the bag with the date, and the cutlets should remain good for up to 3 months.
Reheating:
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: For best results, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. No Thawing Necessary: If frozen, there's no need to thaw the cutlets beforehand. However, reheating from frozen will take a bit longer.
  3. Single Layer: Place the turkey breast cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they aren’t overlapping for even reheating.
  4. Reheat: For refrigerated cutlets, reheat for 3-4 minutes. For frozen, aim for 5-7 minutes. If they aren't warm after this, continue in 1-minute increments to avoid drying them out.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once reheated, the turkey cutlets should be consumed immediately for best quality.
Tip: When reheating, a light spray of cooking oil can help revive the crispiness of the cutlets. Always be cautious of not over-reheating to retain moisture and flavor.
