Ingredients

  • Herb Butter
  • 1 tablespoon — finely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon — finely chopped fresh chives

  • 1 teaspoon — finely minced fresh garlic

  • ½ teaspoon — salt, or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon — ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons — cold unsalted butter

  • 2 ¾ pounds — skin-on, bone-in split turkey breast

Directions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place rosemary, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper onto a cutting board. Cut butter into thin slices on top of herbs and seasonings and mash until well blended.
  • Pat turkey breast dry and rub with herbed butter on both sides and under the skin.
  • Place turkey into the air fryer basket, skin-side down, and air 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.
