Preparing your turkey for air frying is a little different from using other cooking methods, such as oven roasting. Read below for our air frying tips:
For an extra flavorful turkey, brine it in advance. There are wet or dry brining methods, so browse some recipes and decide which works best for you.
If you want to bake the stuffing inside the turkey, don't put the stuffing in the cavity until right before the bird goes in the oven. This will help avoid bacteria growth.
Check if your oven is large enough to accommodate your turkey. You can test this out by placing the turkey in your oven before cooking, or by checking the oven's dimensions and cubic feet in your user manual. You can also find your oven's cubic feet using the our website.
Do you have a turkey injector? Use it! If you don't, regular basting will help keep the turkey nice and juicy too. Be sure to save some of the drippings that collect in the pan to make a delicious gravy.
To begin cooking your turkey, you’ll need an Air Fry tray. Some models come with one included, however some models include the Air Fry feature but sell the tray separately. You'll also need a baking sheet, which will catch any drippings from your turkey.
You should also calculate how long it will take to cook your turkey using this method: the estimated cook time is around 8-10 minutes per pound. So, a 20-pound turkey will take around 3 hours to cook using Air Fry mode.
