Ingredients
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 bone-in (4-5 pounds) turkey breast, skin on
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine butter, shallot, thyme, sage, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Remove any netting from the turkey breast. Pat skin dry.
- Gently loosen and lift the skin from the turkey breast without totally detaching the skin. (You can use rubber gloves here.) Rub half of the herb butter under the skin.
- Rub the remaining herb butter all over the turkey breast.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
- Place the turkey breast in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry the turkey for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, carefully turn the turkey breast over so that the skin side is up. Continue air frying for another 15 minutes.
- After the next 15 minutes, turn the turkey breast again, this time back to skin-side down. Air fry for an additional 15-30 minutes (a total of 45-60 minutes), or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. (Keep in mind that cooking times may vary based on the size of the turkey breast.)
- Remove the turkey breast from the air fryer and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
