Air Fryer Marie Callender's Honey Roasted Turkey Breast

Air Fryer Marie Callender's Honey Roasted Turkey Breast

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 30-35 minutes

Total Time: 35-40 minutes

Servings: 1 meal

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen Marie Callender's Honey Roasted Turkey Breast entree (includes turkey slices, gravy, stuffing, and vegetables).

• Optional: Fresh parsley or cranberry sauce for garnish.

Equipment:

• Air fryer (ensure the basket fits the meal’s container).

• Meat thermometer (optional, for checking the turkey’s internal temperature).

• Tongs or a heat-resistant spoon.

• Oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

   • Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C).

   • Allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes for even cooking.

2. Prepare the Frozen Meal:

   • Remove the Honey Roasted Turkey Breast entree from its box.

   • Keep the plastic film on the container, but pierce it 5-7 times with a fork or small knife to allow steam to escape.

3. Place the Meal in the Air Fryer Basket:

   • Put the container directly into the air fryer basket, ensuring it sits flat.

   • If the container doesn’t fit or you prefer a crisper texture, transfer the turkey, stuffing, and vegetables to an air fryer-safe dish and cover loosely with foil.

4. Start Cooking:

   • Set the timer for 30 minutes.

   • At the 15-minute mark, pause the air fryer. Carefully remove the basket and stir the vegetables and stuffing to distribute heat evenly. Spoon some gravy over the turkey slices to keep them moist.

   • Re-cover the meal loosely with the pierced plastic film or foil and return it to the air fryer.

5. Check for Doneness:

   • After 25 minutes, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. It should reach 165°F (74°C).

   • If any part of the meal is still cold, continue cooking in 3-5 minute increments until fully heated.

6. Optional Step for a Crisp Finish:

   • For crispier stuffing and lightly roasted turkey, transfer the turkey slices and stuffing to the air fryer basket directly. Increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

   • Stir the vegetables again to ensure they remain warm.

7. Serve Your Meal:

   • Carefully remove the container or basket from the air fryer using oven mitts.

   • Plate the turkey, stuffing, vegetables, and gravy.

   • Garnish with fresh parsley or serve with a dollop of cranberry sauce for a festive touch.

Tips for Success:

• Don’t Let the Gravy Dry Out: Stir and spoon gravy over the turkey and stuffing halfway through cooking to retain moisture.

• Adjust for Your Air Fryer: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so monitor closely in the last few minutes.

• Use a Deep Dish: If transferring to another dish, choose one that can hold the gravy without spilling.

FAQ:

Can I cook multiple meals at once?

It’s best to cook one meal at a time for consistent heating and flavor.

What if the stuffing isn’t fully heated?

Stir the stuffing and vegetables thoroughly, then cook for an additional 3-5 minutes at 350°F.

Can I add extra toppings?

Yes! Consider adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of roasted nuts to the stuffing for added flavor and crunch.
