Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. turkey tenderloin boneless, skinless
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Pat the turkey tenderloins completely dry with paper towels, then brush all sides with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the turkey, gently pressing it onto the meat.
- Spray air fryer basket with a nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the turkey tenderloins in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between them for air to circulate.
- Air fry at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Begin checking the temperature around the 20-minute mark and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each tenderloin reaches 165°F.
- Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into medallions and serving.
Notes
- Depending on the size of your tenderloins, the cooking time will vary. When making this recipe, my turkey usually takes 22 minutes to fully cook.
- To ensure even browning on both sides, flip the turkey tenderloins halfway through cooking.
- Store leftover turkey in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
