Ingredients

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh garlic
0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2.75 pounds skin-on, bone-in split turkey breast

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for optimal cooking.
On a cutting board, combine fresh rosemary, chives, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Slice cold butter into thin pats over the herb mixture and mash together until well combined, creating a flavorful compound butter.
Thoroughly pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Generously rub the herbed butter mixture all over the turkey breast, ensuring coverage on both sides and under the skin for maximum flavor.
Carefully place the turkey breast into the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for the first 20 minutes.
Flip the turkey breast to skin-side up. Continue air frying until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, near the bone, registers 165°F (74°C), approximately 18 minutes more. Transfer the cooked turkey breast to a serving platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
