Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb boneless turkey breast skin-on preferred for crispiness
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp dried rosemary crushed
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Steps
  1. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub all over with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Place the turkey breast in the air fryer basket, skin-side up. Cook for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the air fryer basket while cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
