Why You Will LOVE This Turkey Dinner

• It’s super easy to make them in the air fryer.
• Roast turkey in the air fryer becomes juicy and tender.
• The skin becomes crispy and so tasty.
• Turkey cooks quicker in the air fryer compared to traditional oven.
• Minimal work and less cleaning.

To make this delicious Air fryer turkey, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Turkey – I have used turkey thigh as they tend to be more flavorful and stays juicy when done properly.
• Mayonnaise – Use quality mayonnaise for better taste.
• Salt – Adjust salt according to your taste.
• Black Pepper – Gives a mild kick to the dish.
• Garlic – I like to use freshly minced garlic but you can also use powder.
• Onion Granules – Skip if you do not have it to hand.
• Paprika – Adds both color and smokey effect to the roast.

INGREDIENTS

• 750 g Turkey
• 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Onion Granules
• 1 tsp Paprika

Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the skin become crispier during cooking.

Make some deep cuts in the thigh to help marinade get in better.

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub the marinade to all parts of the turkey ensuring the marination reaches inside the deep cuts.

Marinade chicken for at least 1 hours; overnight marination in the fridge is even better.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps to ensure even cooking.

Place the seasoned turkey thighs in the air fryer basket, skin side down.

Cook for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, flip the thighs so the skin side is up. This will allow the skin to crisp up nicely.

Continue to cook for another 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey thighs reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.

Once cooked, remove the turkey thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and juicy.

Curve and serve the turkey thighs hot, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. They pair wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.

In one hours time you get Perfectly Grilled Roast Turkey Dinner. It should be perfectly cooked from inside and all juicy with crispy skin that has smokey flavor with that chargrilled appearance.

1. Pro tip: Make some deep cuts in the turkey pieces to help seasoning get inside.
2. Pro tip: It’s important to marinade turkey at least 1 hour to help the flavors and seasonings blend in.
3. Pro tip: Don’t forget to flip the pieces and grill for best result.
4. Pro tip: Drain and use the juice and marinade that settles at the bottom of the air fryer drawer.

Storing Leftover Roast Turkey

Roast turkey makes delicious dinner and it’s everyone’s favorite. However, many times there are leftover that could be not enough for everyone’s dinner the next evening. You can store this cooked turkey in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for later use in other recipes.

1. Refrigeration: Store leftover grilled turkey in the fridge for 2-3 days. Make sure it’s covered properly.
2. Freezing: If you want to keep your roast turkey for a longer period, consider freezing it. Put them in a zip lock bag. Label and date the packages before storing them in the freezer for up to a month.
