For extra crispy skin, you can broil the turkey breast for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; ensure there's enough space for air to circulate for even cooking. Resting the turkey is crucial for juicy results. Don't skip this step!

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
Step
5 mins
On a cutting board, combine the rosemary, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper. Slice the cold butter into thin pats and place them on top of the herbs and seasonings. Mash together until a well-blended, fragrant compound butter forms.
03
Step
5 mins
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Generously rub the herbed butter all over the turkey breast, ensuring to get some under the skin for maximum flavor infusion.
04
Step
20 mins
Place the turkey breast into the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry for 20 minutes.
05
Step
18 mins
Carefully flip the turkey breast to skin-side up. Continue air frying until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, near the bone, registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 18 minutes more.
06
Step
10 mins
Transfer the cooked turkey breast to a platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
