Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place rosemary, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper onto a cutting board. Cut butter into thin slices on top of herbs and seasonings and mash until well blended.
-
Pat turkey breast dry and rub with herbed butter on both sides and under the skin.
-
Place turkey into the air fryer basket, skin-side down, and air fry for 20 minutes.
-
Turn turkey to skin-side up carefully and continue frying until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 18 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and tent with aluminum foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
