Ninja Crispi Turkey Breast
Description
A juicy, crispy-skinned boneless turkey breast cooked entirely in the Ninja Crispi — no oven required. Serves four to six.
Ingredients
- 3 lb boneless turkey breast roast, netting on
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking powder, optional
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Dry brine. Pat the turkey dry. Combine the kosher salt and baking powder, then rub over all surfaces, including under the skin. Refrigerate uncovered 8–24 hours.
- Temper and season. Rest at room temperature 30 minutes. Pat dry. Mix butter with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and pepper. Work a third under the skin and coat the outside with the rest.
- Load the container. Set the crisper plate in the 4-qt container. Place the turkey skin side up, netting intact.
- Cook. Attach the PowerPod with the adapter. Select Air Fry (or Roast at 350°F on the Crispi Pro). Cook 40–48 minutes for a 3-lb roast, rotating the container halfway.
- Check temperature. Pull at 160°F in the thickest part. Tent with foil.
- Rest and slice. Rest 15 minutes — carryover brings it to 165°F. Snip the netting, slice across the grain.
- Make gravy. Whisk a cornstarch slurry into the pan drippings and simmer 3 minutes.
Equipment
- Ninja Crispi
- Tongs
- Meat Thermometer
Notes
- Buy boneless. A bone-in breast won't clear the container.
- Cook to temperature, not time. Roast shape varies more than weight suggests.
- Store in the same glass container and reheat on Recrisp for 3–5 minutes.
