Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Pat turkey breast dry and rub with herbed butter on both sides and under the skin.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 5

Place turkey into the air fryer basket, skin-side down, and air fry for 20 minutes.
