Air Fryer Turkey Breast Roast

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Turkey Breast Roast.

1. Step 1

   To start, you'll want to thaw your frozen turkey breast in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.

2. Step 2

   This slow thawing method ensures that your turkey stays juicy and flavorful.

3. Step 3

   Once it's ready, grab a pot and bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.

4. Step 4

   Stir in kosher salt, brown sugar, and ground black pepper until everything is fully dissolved.

5. Step 5

   After that, remove the pot from the heat and let the brine cool completely, which should take around 30 minutes.

6. Step 6

   When the brine has cooled, carefully take the turkey breast out of its packaging, keeping the netting on if you can.

7. Step 7

   Place the turkey in a suitable container and pour the cooled brine over it, making sure the turkey is completely submerged.

8. Step 8

   If it’s not quite covered, feel free to add a bit more water and give it a gentle stir to mix everything together.

9. Step 9

   Cover the container and pop it in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight for the best flavor infusion.

10. Step 10

    The next day, preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

11. Step 11

    After the brining time is up, take the turkey out of the brine and discard the liquid.

12. Step 12

    Pat the turkey dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.

13. Step 13

    Now, rub the turkey with butter and season it generously with seasoned salt and black pepper for that extra kick of flavor.

14. Step 14

    Once your air fryer is preheated, place the turkey inside and cook it for 15 minutes.

15. Step 15

    After this initial cooking time, carefully turn the turkey, remove the netting, and sprinkle on a bit more seasoning.

16. Step 16

    Lower the air fryer temperature to 360°F (182°C) and continue cooking for another 20 minutes, turning the turkey halfway through to ensure even cooking.

17. Step 17

    Finally, increase the temperature back to 390°F (200°C), give the turkey another turn, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which should take about 15 more minutes.

18. Step 18

    Once it’s done, remove the turkey from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

19. Step 19

    This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, making every slice tender and delicious.

20. Step 20

    Now, slice it up and serve your perfectly cooked turkey breast, ready to impress your family and friends! Enjoy the delightful flavors and the satisfaction of a job well done!.
