Recipe Card Tips

Pat the turkey breast dry before buttering it, the butter sticks noticeably better.
Use dried herbs, not fresh, fresh herbs will burn in the air fryer.
Use a real digital thermometer and pull at 165°F, never rely on plastic popup devices.

Cover the turkey breast with foil if it is getting too dark while in the air fryer.
