Air Fryer Turkey Breast Time & Temp Guide

By Airfryer Conversion Chart Culinary Team • Reviewed on 2025-08-20

Air fryer turkey breast makes for a quick and juicy holiday or weeknight dinner without the hassle of the oven.

In testing, boneless turkey breast cooked in 30–35 minutes at 360°F, while bone-in breasts needed closer to 35–40 minutes. Cooking from frozen extended cook time to 45–50 minutes at 350°F.

Always confirm doneness with an instant-read thermometer (165°F). Rest the breast for 5–10 minutes before slicing for maximum juiciness.

Pro tip: Brush with melted butter or herb oil before cooking for crisp, flavorful skin.
