Notes
-
- To reduce calories, remove the turkey skin before you air fry it.
- The size of the turkey breast you can cook depends on the size of your air fryer basket. Larger baskets will take more pounds of turkey breast.
- If using frozen turkey breast, make sure it is completely defrosted (and totally dry) before cooking.
- Make sure the meat is completely dry before rubbing on the oil and seasoning. Pat dry with paper towels.
- For maximum flavor make sure the entire turkey breast is coated in the dry rub.
- And when cooking meat, always check the internal temperature using an instant read thermometer to ensure it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C.
- You don't need to cover with foil, but the turkey breast may turn out really crispy without it. So if you happen to prefer a crispy finish, go ahead and skip the foil.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness with a thermometer.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
- There are 9 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of Air Fryer Turkey Breast with the skin on. But if you remove the skin, there is just 1 WW Blue Plan SmartPoint in a serving.
