Air Fryer Turkey Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

For a crispy, juicy fast-cooking turkey, look no further than your air fryer. If you have a small number of people to feed on thanksgiving or youre just looking to cook up all your thanksgiving favorites in the middle of july, this is the perfect recipe for you. We cooked a five-pound bone-in turkey breast and it took less than an hour and a half. Because its cooked breast side down for most of the time, the resulting bird is incredibly juice. When you flip it over, the skin then crisps to crackly perfection. The turkey breast is brined in a mixture that's easy to throw together. It helps lock in all the juices while the breast cooks. This step is optional, but it makes a huge difference on the final product. You need to have an air fryer for this recipe, but the rest of the instructions are simple and dont require any fancy techniques. Serve it with mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy You can easily transfer the drippings from the bottom of the air fryer to a pan to make a homemade gravy.
