Notes

  • Try slathering your turkey breast with Garlic Butter Sauce to add extra moistness and flavor to the meat.
  • Thaw turkey breast before air frying it; you can follow my guide on How to Thaw Turkey to thaw it quickly in a water bath.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
