Ingredients

1 boneless turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a crispy skin.
Season the Turkey: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the turkey breast.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Air Fry the Turkey: Place the seasoned turkey breast in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Rest and Serve: Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite Thanksgiving sides.
