Air Fryer Rolled Boneless Turkey Joint Recipe
This Air Fryer Rolled Boneless Turkey Joint will dispel any remaining myths about white turkey being dry or tasteless. The juicy and succulent meat is quick to cook, easy to carve and delicious served hot or cold. Plus the skin crisps beautifully for added golden crunch and I've included instructions to make a simple turkey gravy using the drippings.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Rolled Boneless Turkey Joint
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tbsp Sea Salt Flakes
For the gravy
- 600 ml Water
- 5 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
- 5 tbsp Water
- Sea Salt Flakes
Instructions
- If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
- Thoroughly dry a 1.5kg Rolled Boneless Turkey Joint .
- Drizzle the turkey with roughly 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil and 1 tbsp Sea Salt Flakes. Rub into the turkey so it is evenly distributed all the way round and not forgetting the ends.
- Place the turkey joint into the air fryer basket with the presentation side up. If it is a preheated basket, use 2 forks or tongs to lower the meat in so you don't touch the hot metal with your hands.
- Air fry for 30 minutes at 180℃/350℉.
- Turn the the turkey over.
- Air fry for a further 20 minutes at 180℃/350℉.
- Turn the turkey back the right way up and air fry for a final 5 minutes at 180℃/350℉.
- Take the cooked turkey out the air fryer and wrap in foil. Set aside and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes.
- Remove the crisper plate from the air fryer basket and tip all of the accumulated juices and fat into a small saucepan. Use a silicone spatula to make sure you get all the goodness. Scrape any tasty bits off the crisper plate too.
- Don't forget to add any juices from the resting period to the gravy.
- Remove the string then carve into thick or thin slices as preferred and serve.
To Make The Turkey Gravy
- Start heating the pan of turkey juices over a high heat.
- Add 500ml Water to the pan. Freshly boiled from the kettle will speed up the process.
- Mix 5 tbsp Cornflour with roughly 5 tbsp Water until all the cornflour has dissolved.
- Once the juices and water have come to the boil, add the cornflour slurry with one hand while whisking with the other.
- Continue to boil until the gravy is thickened. If after a few minutes, it is not thick enough for your liking, make up and add more cornflour slurry - add a little at a time. If it is thicker than you would like, add a little water at a time.
- Taste the gravy and add Sea Salt Flakes a little at a time until the gravy is flavoursome. Don't be shy, salt is your friend with gravy.
- Serve with the sliced turkey.
Notes
- The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a 4.7 litre capacity Cosori 4.7L (CAF-L501). I cannot fit a turkey joint of this size in my Cosori Lite 3.8L (CAF-LI401S) which has a square(ish) shaped basket of 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal. The depth of the basket is more of an important consideration in this case.
- Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
- For this recipe, I could easily fit a 1.5kg/3lb rolled boneless turkey joint in the basket. This gives plenty of room to allow air to circulate.
- As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time.
- Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
