I must apologize. I transferred my domain name and host to a different server and I didn’t know there would be any downtime at all. So sorry about that. I am so glad I’m out of that mess of a hosting company that I used to be at. Everything was outsourced and if you wanted to speak to someone on a chat or call them they would apologize about the mess you were having but didn’t really care. It was scripted and I’m pretty sure they were just pulling stuff off a website. I’m on a much more dedicated server now with the best help I could possibly ask for and I also want to thank a kind redditor who offered to help me. He got on the phone with them and after the call was done my site was back up and running. So thanks! I just knew something was very wrong when it took over 3 days to get done. A domain name transfer shouldn’t take that long, they were quoting me 5 days.
Earlier I had posted about wanting to blog more about air fryer recipes. If you are on the fence about getting an air fryer add it to your Christmas list or get one on Black Friday. I’m pretty sure that some website or shopping place will have one on sale. They are the best. So far, I’ve just been cooking frozen food with it and want to branch out more so what better time to do that around Thanksgiving! This turkey breast came out so juicy in the air fryer. It was already seasoned and came with a gravy packet. Put your air fryer on at 350 and cook it for 60 minutes. Let it rest when you take out the turkey breast and it will be the best air fryer turkey you’ve ever had!
This is much healthier and safer than deep frying a turkey on Thanksgiving Day!
Can I stuff a turkey and air fry it?
Absolutely! Just use the same temp and time to cook the bird. Wrap it up as tight as you can and make sure none of the stuffing is sticking out. The bread might burn if any of it is sticking out.
What size air fryer do I have?
I have a 3QT air fryer. I choose to only cook a 3 to 5-pound turkey in mine.
How long should I cook my turkey per pound in an air fryer?
3 pounds – 60 minutes
6 pounds – 2 hours
8 pounds – 4 hours
If you have a bird that weighs more than 3 pounds keep on doubling the time. Some air fryers only go up to 60 minutes. Just reset it for another 60 minutes after the 60 minutes are done frying.
This looks pretty darn tasty!
Did you lay it on its side or set upright I have a butterball 8 lb turkey breast . Do I buyer or spray it with canola then salt n pepper can I fill Brest with celery carrots n herb first , ? I got air fryer cook book delivered but it had no recipe in it , I was sad I’ve waited for mum air fryer so I could make it for thanksgiving , please reply
I sprayed the pan first then just set the turkey breast down in the basket
I have a 3 pounds frozen boneless turkey breast by jennie-o. Do I need to thaw it before putting it in the air fryer?
And mine is in a bag that it’s supposed to cook in. Do I leave it in that bag or take it out?
Yep you let the whole thing defrost and take it out the bag.
Bone in or boneless?
I used a boneless turkey breast.
I used a boneless turkey breast. My instructions said 350 for 1hour, but when i checked it in 25 minutes it was almost burned on one side. I lowered the temp to 300 and the time to 15 minutes and flipped. It turned out great.
Thank you for the tips folks. New at air frying.
Thank you for posting these recipes, really helpful since the books don’t have a lot of things l like to make
Do you cook inside the bag? Like you do for the oven. (Jenny-o) for example. How long do you cook it for at what temperature? Does it have to be defrosted before cooking because Jenny o frozen to oven in 2 hrs in oven. Wanted to try it out in my air fryer. (Gowise 5.8 qt) thanks.
I just bought a gormia 10 qt fryer. I am going to attempt a bone in 4 lb turkey breast tonight. Some of the recipes say 75 minutes at 350. Any thoughts?
I’m not sure what you mean by some of the recipes say 75?
Do I have to thaw my Turkey breast it is a freezer to oven in a bag? I want to try in my air fryer instead of the oven. I figured it needs to be out of the bag.
Yes.
I have a 7.33 pound Turkey breast how long do I cook it at what temperature
This recipe is specifically for a 2.75-pound turkey breast. I would double the time the recipe says, but I don’t know if all air fryers can go past 60 minutes?
Hi
Thank you so much for your post! What size and brand air dryer do you have? I’m trying to purchase one but the reviews are all all
Over the place arugh! Lol 🙂
Hi Jenny, The Air Fryer I use a 3 QT Avalon Bay Air Fryer. It works great!
Nowhere can I find anything about air frying a ‘stuffed (w/bread stuffing)’ bone in, turkey breast – Is it feasible to do it with the stuffing inside? If so, will the cooking time/temp need to be altered? Thank you
I have never tried an air fryer turkey breast with stuffing before. I would assume it would be the same amount of time, but then it could dry out.
I have ten pound Butterball turkey my boyfriend got a airfyer oven this year.i don’t if I can put it in there.i never put anything like that in there before
It depends on the size of your air fryer. If it’s only 3 qts then I would roast it in the oven.
Hey Jenna my airfryer is 3.7L deep fryer oster and my turkey is ten pounds can use it.
I am cooking a 15lb whole turkey in my Big Boss air fryer what temp and how long?
Did you brush anything on the turkey breast like oil or butter before you put it in the air fryer thank for the post
Sorry, but I have never tried a whole turkey in my air fryer before.
Good to know. Thanks, Barbie!
Can you use a Marinade Injector for the turkey breast to put some liquid/seansonings into the turkey?
Yes.
Sorry I’m so late posting this, BUT I did a 6 lb bone-in turkey breast for Thanksgiving…
IT was Amazing! The skin was super crisp the way I like it, the meat was so very moist and juicy…
I’m glad I found this site bc it talked me into giving it a try and it was well worth it.
(20 min each, top and bottom, then I did the sides for 10 min each.. perfect!)
I kept checking it with a digital thermometer when I would turn it 🙂
Thank you!!
I wouldn’t cook a turkey any other way!
Has anyone tried a 3 lb boneless turkey in an AirFryer rotisserie? I imagine roasting it this way should self baste if using the correct spices/oils? But don’t know what that would be. I am guessing 350 degrees till it reaches 165 degrees and is nicely browned? I am new to air fryers and have one big enough but I am unsure about spices and temps to use, I want mine tasty but require lower sodium. Also could use suggestions how to place it in the rotisserie since it is boneless? Does that prohibit me using rotisserie/ (borne in would be too large i assume). And question is for everyday cooking as i prefer turkey over chicken most times!
Hi! I also have a 3# boneless butterball turkey breast. Do I take the netting off or is it ok to leave it on while air frying? I’m so excited to have found your recipe. It looks wonderful! Thx so much…Linda Z.
I would take it off. The air fryer might burn the netting.
