Olive-Brined Air Fryer Turkey Breast
An easy recipe for making a savory, juicy turkey breast in an air fryer. Using olive brine gives the breast flavor and also keeps it tender. I use spicy Tabasco Olive brine for extra kick. Serve with cranberry sauce.
Ingredients
-
¾ cup brine from a can of olives
-
½ cup buttermilk
-
3 ½ pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast
-
1 sprig fresh rosemary
-
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Description
-
Whisk together olive brine and buttermilk. Put the turkey breast into a resealable plastic bag and pour brine-buttermilk mixture into the bag. Add rosemary and thyme sprigs. Seal bag and refrigerate for 8 hours.
-
Take the bag out of the fridge and allow to rest until the breast reaches room temperature.
-
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Cook the breast in the air fryer for 15 minutes. Flip over the breast and cook for 5 minutes until turkey breast is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If internal temperature is lower, keep cooking at 5 minute intervals until the correct temperature is reached.
