Air Fryer Turkey Breast
Warm up your air fryer, this is the easiest and quickest way to make a Thanksgiving turkey dinner for your family this year. No more carving, thawing, or dealing with an incredibly huge bird.
When you cook just the breast, dinner is ready quicker and it’s easier to eat. If you follow this recipe, the turkey breast will stay perfectly juicy and it’s ready to serve as soon as it’s fully cooked!
Air Fryer Turkey
Since the turkey breasts cook so quickly in the air fryer, you don’t have to worry about trying to make it ahead of time. Literally, all you have to do is season the turkey breasts, place them in the air fryer basket, and let them cook for half an hour per side.
If you do have leftovers, place them in an airtight food storage container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. For the juiciest turkey, cover the turkey breasts with gravy when you store them.

Air Fryer Tips
The air fryer makes cooking so much easier and quicker! These tips will help you make the best turkey breasts in the air fryer every single time.
- Grease the air fryer basket. This will prevent the turkey from sticking to the basket.
- Flip the turkey over halfway through cooking time. This helps it cook evenly on both sides.
- Preheat the air fryer. Not all air fryers need to be preheated before you use them. Read your user manual first.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Since air fryers use hot air to cook the food, you need to leave enough room for the air to get around the turkey breasts.
How To Use Leftover Turkey
The best way to use leftover turkey is to make keto turkey pot pie. Smothered turkey breast with steamed veggies and a flaky crust, it’s delicious!
You can also use it on top of your favorite chopped salad. Save the turkey breast and use it instead of chicken in cream of chicken soup. It will taste just as delicious.
Keto Side Dishes For Turkey

It’s really simple to make low-carb Thanksgiving feats everyone can eat together.
