Turkey Breast In Air Fryer
Cooking a turkey breast in your air fryer is perfect for Thanksgiving for two. This recipe calls for a 1.5 Lb half turkey breast which will feed two people. For a slightly larger holiday feast you will want to use a whole turkey breast and increase the cook time.
Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving with 30 family members around a giant table. We have an extremely small Thanksgiving gathering at my house; so I will cook a turkey breast, a beef option and/or a small ham. Add a few favorite side dishes and that is our holiday feast.
How Long Does It Take To Cook Turkey Breast In An Air Fryer
A 1.5 Lb bone-in turkey breast takes approximately 35 minutes at 375ºF. You want to cook the turkey to 160ºF. Time will vary depending on the air fryer you use and the thickness of the turkey breast.
You are going to want to use a meat thermometer to properly cook your turkey breast.
