Olive Brined Air Fryer Turkey Breast Recipes

PERFECT TURKEY BREAST ROAST IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Thaw frozen turkey breast in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.
• Bring water to a boil and stir in kosher salt, brown sugar, and pepper. Remove brine from heat and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove turkey breast from wrapper and leave netting in place if possible. Place turkey into a container and cover with cooled brine; add more water if necessary to completely cover, stirring to ensure brine is mixed with water. Let turkey brine for 8 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator.
• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Remove turkey and discard the brine. Pat turkey dry. Rub with butter and coat with seasoned salt and pepper.
• Cook turkey in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes; turn, remove netting, and season once more. Reduce temperature to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Continue to cook for 20 minutes, turning after 15 minutes. Increase temperature to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), turn, and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes more. Remove turkey and let rest for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

• Pat turkey breast dry and rub with herbed butter on both sides and under the skin.
• Place turkey into the basket of the air fryer, skin-side down, and fry for 20 minutes.
• Turn turkey to skin-side up carefully and continue frying until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 18 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and tent with aluminum foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

OLIVE-BRINED AIR-FRYER TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Whisk together olive brine and buttermilk. Put the turkey breast into a resealable plastic bag and pour brine-buttermilk mixture into the bag. Add rosemary and thyme sprigs. Seal bag and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• Take the bag out of the fridge and allow to rest until the breast reaches room temperature.
• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook the breast in the air fryer for 15 minutes. Flip over the breast and cook for 5 minutes until turkey breast is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If internal temperature is lower, keep cooking at 5 minute intervals until the correct temperature is reached.
