Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey breast is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
- If the turkey breast is too thick, spatchcock it (flatten it out by removing the backbone) to reduce cooking time.
- For a crispy exterior, cook the turkey breast on the air fryer's hottest setting for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
- Let the turkey breast rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier bird.
