Here’s a simple, flavorful air fryer turkey breast recipe using a seasoned coating similar to Zatarain’s style — you can use your favorite spices or a store-bought seasoned coating.
🍗 Air Fryer Turkey Breast
Ingredients
- 2–3 lb (≈900–1350 g) boneless turkey breast
- 1–2 Tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2 Tbsp seasoned coating mix (or a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne)
- Optional: fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary)
Steps
- Prep the Turkey
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
- Rub olive oil or melted butter evenly over the surface.
- Season
- Sprinkle the seasoned coating evenly on all sides.
- Optional: add chopped fresh herbs for extra aroma.
- Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 350 °F (175 °C).
- Place turkey breast in the basket, skin side up if it has skin.
- Cook 30–40 min, flipping halfway if needed.
- Check with a meat thermometer — internal temp should reach 165 °F (74 °C).
- Rest
- Let the turkey breast rest 10–15 min before slicing.
- This keeps it juicy and easier to carve.
- Serve
- Slice and serve with your favorite sides (roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a salad).
Tips
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray the turkey with cooking spray halfway through cooking.
- You can brush the turkey with a mixture of butter, garlic, and herbs for extra flavor before air frying.
- Adjust seasoning based on your taste — smoked paprika or Cajun spices work well for a New Orleans–style twist.
If you want, I can give you a Zatarain’s-style Creole coating version specifically for turkey breast, so it tastes just like the air fryer chicken but with turkey. This makes it extra flavorful! Do you want me to do that?
