Servings: 4
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds Turkey Breast, uncooked
- ¼ cup Orange Marmalade
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
- ½ teaspoon Orange Zest
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- Use remaining orange for garnish by slicing into thin slices.
Instructions
- If the turkey breast comes in a cooking bag, leave it in the cooking bag and place in the air fryer. Set at 350° F and set for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes flip the bagged turkey breast over to the other side and cook for 10 more minutes, then using a meat thermometer, check for doneness. If it isn’t completely cooked, cook for an additional 5 minutes then check again and repeat as necessary.
- **If the turkey breast doesn’t come in a cooking bag, then place the turkey breast in foil and wrap tightly. Air fry on 350° F for 20 minutes, then flip the turkey breast still in the tin foil over and air fry for 10 more minutes, open foil and check for doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 160° F. Then let rest for 10 minutes, and temp should read 165° F.
For the Orange Glaze
- Combine the orange marmalade, mustard, orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, and rosemary in a medium saucepan. Bring the glaze to a boil over medium heat, cook for 1 minute, stirring continually.
- Remove the turkey from the bag or foil, and place the turkey breast onto a serving plate. Spoon the warm orange glaze over the turkey breast covering the entire surface.
- Serve turkey on the serving plate with orange slices and more fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish.
Notes
- Time will vary depending on the size of your turkey breast. I recommend a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked perfectly. Internal temperature should read 160° F.
- If you purchase your turkey breast frozen, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before preparation.
- The Butterball turkey breast comes with a gravy packet that is delicious and saves time.
- Butterball has oven directions and times on the back, but for an air fryer, the time is greatly reduced.
- Will keep refrigerated in an airtight container or sealed with cling wrap for up to 7 days.
- Will also freeze well for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat on the stove top or in a microwave safe dish.
