Ingredients
  

Turkey and Butter Mixture
  • 1 3 lb turkey breast Boneless
  • 3 tbsp butter or ghee (softened) For flavor and moisture
  • 6 cloves roasted garlic (minced) Adds rich flavor
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary Chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage Chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme Chopped
  • sea salt + pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
  2. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
  3. Wash and mince fresh herbs.
  4. Add garlic to the minced herbs and work them into a paste with softened butter.
  5. Spread 1/4 of the butter mixture under the turkey skin and 1/4 on top of the turkey skin. Spread remaining butter on the bottom.
  6. Season the turkey with sea salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Place the turkey skin side down into the air fryer basket.
  2. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip the turkey.
  3. Roast for an additional 30 to 35 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 170°F in the thickest part of the breast.
Serving
  1. Let the breast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, pan juices, and roasted root vegetables.

Notes

Pat the breast very dry before applying butter to ensure crisp skin. Let the turkey rest after cooking to keep it juicy. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or freeze in portions for up to 3 months.
