Air Fryer Turkey

Step 1

Thaw the turkey according to the instructions on the package. Remove neck and giblets.

Step 2

Combine softened butter, herbs and salt and pepper.

Step 3

Carefully and gently loosen the skin away from the turkey breast and legs using your hand. Make sure not to rip the skin this is important for keeping the moisture in. You are creating pockets so you can spread the butter all over your turkey. I use just about one stick for under the turkey skin and the remainder on the outside of the turkey. I also add salt and pepper to the outside of the turkey.

Step 4

Pre heat air fryer to 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Insert turkey stand into the turkey cavity and place on frying basket. Lower into the air fryer.

Step 6

Let fry 8-10 minutes per pound.

Step 7

When the turkeys internal temperature is at 165 degrees remove turkey from the air fryer using oven mitts and the hook that came with your fryer.

Step 8

Let turkey rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 9

Carve and Enjoy!
