Has anyone made a boneless turkey breast in their air fryer? How was it and do you have any tips to pass along. There will be only 3 of us so that's what I'm making.

I made a 3 lb boneless turkey breast with the net on it. I put pats of  butter under what skin was on it. Rubbed it down with olive oil & sprinkled with poultry seasoning. Cooked @ 350° for around 25 mins. on each side. Check with meat thermometer 165°. I take it out & let it rest before it reaches 165° so it's not dry.

So funny you asked this.  Just last weekend I tried this as my oven is broken and wanted to try a 3lb turkey breast. BONELESS.

It was a FAIL unfortunately.  The outside browned nicely but the inside was raw raw raw.

I had to raise the temp, add time, finally it was done. But the outside was so overdone that it was dry.

So I was left with the decision, what to do.  So I have decided to cook 2 boneless turkey breasts in my crock pot.  THAT I have done before, and its full proof.  I cannot have the guessing game on Thanksgiving day, as I will be running to see my mom at the nursing home.  First yr she is in there , so it will be different for me this yr. 

I am sure others have had success, but mine was terrible.

I hope you have better luck.

Happy THanksgiving to you.

Here's Meredith Laurence Air-Fried Turkey Breast with Maple Mustard Glaze. She does mention a 3 lb boneless turkey below. I cooked mine longer then she states. If you use a thermometer you will know when it's done.

How great that you can cook a turkey breast in your air fryer! That means that you can roast an additional breast if you're having a huge crowd for Thanksgiving, OR if you're having a smaller group, you can air-fry your turkey and leave your oven available for all the side dishes. You'll need to have a large air fryer for this recipe - at least 5 quarts in size. If you have a smaller air fryer, you can try a boneless 3 pound turkey breast and cook it for about 35 - 45 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 5-pound whole turkey breast
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon dried sage
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Pre heat air fryer to 350ºF.
2. Brush the olive oil all over the turkey breast.
3. Combine the thyme, sage, paprika, salt and pepper and rub the outside of the turkey breast with the spice mixture.
4. Transfer the seasoned turkey breast to the air fryer basket and air-fry at 350ºF for 25 minutes. Turn the turkey breast on its side and air-fry for another 12 minutes. Turn the turkey breast on the opposite side and air-fry for another 12 minutes. The internal temperature of the turkey breast should reach 165ºF when fully cooked.
5. While the turkey is air-frying, combine the maple syrup, mustard and butter in a small saucepan. When the cooking time is up, return the turkey breast to an upright position and brush the glaze all over the turkey. Air-fry for a final 5 minutes, until the skin is nicely browned and crispy. Let the turkey rest, loosely tented with foil, for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
