Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter (1/2 stick), softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed between your fingers for more aroma
- 2-3 pound boneless turkey breast, about one whole breast
- minced parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, stir the softened butter with garlic salt, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Dry the Turkey: Pat the turkey breast completely dry with paper towels so the seasoning sticks and the outside browns evenly.
- Coat the Turkey: Rub the herb butter over all sides of the turkey, pressing it into any seams or folds.
- Preheat: Set your air fryer to 360°F and preheat for 5 minutes.
- Air Fry: Place the turkey in the basket and cook at 360°F for 25 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Flip the turkey and cook 20-25 more minutes until the thickest part reads 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Rest: Transfer the turkey to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice and Garnish: Slice against the grain into 1/2-inch pieces and sprinkle with minced parsley if desired.
