1. Preparation:

• Start by thawing your turkey if it’s frozen. Ensure it’s completely thawed for even cooking.
• Next, remove any giblets from the turkey cavity and pat the turkey dry with paper towels. A dry skin will help achieve that crispiness we’re after.

2. Selecting the Right Turkey:

• Opt for a turkey that’s between 10-12 lbs. Larger turkeys may not cook as evenly in the air fryer function of your Frigidaire oven.

3. Seasoning:

• Mix kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage) in a bowl. This simple yet flavorful combination will enhance the turkey’s natural flavors.
• Brush your turkey lightly with olive oil or melted butter. This helps the seasoning stick and contributes to the skin’s golden color and crisp texture.

4. Variety of Seasoning Options:

• For a different twist, consider a marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs marinated overnight. Or, for a spicier kick, a rub of chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

5. Setting Up Your Frigidaire Oven:

• Preheat your Frigidaire oven to the air fryer setting at 350°F. This temperature is ideal for cooking turkey, ensuring it’s cooked through without drying out.

6. Placing the Turkey in the Air Fryer Basket:

• Position your turkey breast-side up on the roasting rack. Make sure there’s space around it to allow for air to circulate freely. This ensures even cooking and crisping.

7. Cooking Time and Temperature:

• Cook the turkey at 350°F. A general rule is about 10 minutes per pound, but start checking the internal temperature at the 90-minute mark. You’re aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

8. Resting:

• Once cooked, let the turkey rest for about 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making every slice moist and delicious.

9. Serving Ideas:

• Serve your air-fried turkey with traditional sides like mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and green beans. Or, mix things up with roasted vegetables straight from the air fryer.
