Instructions
- Combine the butter, rosemary, thyme, sage, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Pat the thawed turkey breast dry with a paper towel. Coat the turkey breast with the herbed butter.
- Line the air-fryer basket with foil. Place the turkey breast inside the foil-lined basket.
- Place the basket in the air fryer, and set for 350°F and cook for 20 minutes.
- Flip the turkey over, and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (the internal temperature of the turkey should read 165°F).
- Remove the turkey breast from the air fryer, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- While the turkey is resting, make the optional gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan, and whisk in the flour. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the broth to the saucepan, whisking continuously to completely dissolve the flour and butter mixture into the broth. Then whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and chicken bouillon. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the gravy thickens, about 4 or 5 minutes.
- Serve the thickened gravy with the turkey.
