Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground rosemary
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar
1 bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • Mix together the salt, thyme, rosemary, pepper, sage, garlic powder, paprika and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • Brush the turkey breast with olive oil and rub on both sides with the dry rub mixture, making sure to get under the skin wherever possible. Put the turkey skin-side down in the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer and roast at 360 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully open the air fryer and flip the turkey over so it is skin-side up. Close the air fryer and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F, about an additional 15 minutes. Let rest at least 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
