Ingredients needed

Important tips before starting

• Size is super important in this recipe for the turkey. I fit a 3 pound turkey in my air fryer easily. I would not recommend going higher than that. You do not want the breast touching the heating element.
• There is meat twine that comes with boneless turkey breast. Leave that on, it helps the turkey cook evenly.
