Can you cook a turkey like one of these? In an air fryer like one of these. I'm using our air fryer which is a Ninja Foodi Max and it's 10 quarts or 9.5L which means each basket is 5 quarts or 4.75 L and this is 1.8 kg and it fits really easily into the basket. I've defrosted it but I've also given it 30 minutes to bring the turkey to room temperature.
But I'm just patting the bird down so that, uh, we're drying the skin and don't forget to remove the giblets if they're still in your turkey. I'm trimming the excess skin from around the, uh, the neck area. Let's grab some rosemary. One tablespoon of rosemary. You don't need to do this, obviously, to cook your turkey. I'm just doing this to look good on camera. I'm going to make a herb butter. The next herb is thyme, and we're going to do exactly the same with this.
In goes the thyme. We need. Three quarters of a cup of softened butter, that's 100 grams. And for the turkey I'm going to use about six or seven cloves of garlic, so I'm going to, uh, cut and peel these cloves. It's a microplane, so it's a very fine grater. I'm mashing up the herb. butter with a fork. Herb is a lot easier to say than herb, isn't it?
I'll do it the British way. And now it's time to dress the turkey. So I'm cutting this onion into wedges and also a lemon, and I'm going to put these wedges actually into the bird. So I'm finding space in the cavity to just cram in the onion and lemon. I'm making these cuts so that we can put some garlic actually into the turkey to flavour it.
I need to pat the turkey dry just to make sure the skin is dry to get the butter on again. I'm just using my hands. to smear this all over the skin. Now this is the moment of truth. We are going to put this turkey into this basket. I'm leaving the tray in to help with the air circulation. It smells gorgeous already and I have to use both hands because it is so heavy.
Switch this dial to roast and I'm going to dial up 350 degrees Fahrenheit. That's 170 degrees centigrade. I'm going to set it to one hour, 10 minutes, and if you hold down the time button you can actually go up in quite big increments there, and then we just hit start. Here's the big moment of reveal.
How's it come out? Oh my goodness! We're going to check that the juices run clear. So I'm going to do this with a small skewer into the deepest part of the meat. I'm just going to push that all the way in. I think that's really cooked. I am so pleased with how this has come out, but the proof is in the cutting, isn't it?
Wow the skin is so crispy. Let's cut into this bird and oh my goodness I cannot believe that this turkey has come out of the air fryer in just a little more than an hour. It's come out absolutely perfectly cooked through. There are no pink sections. It slices so easily. The smell is indescribable. It is It smells so gorgeous, I think because of the herbs that we added.
The butter I think has also helped to seep through and make the meat more succulent. I hate making these shots but I've got to show you that it does actually taste as good as it looks. Let's just give it a try.
It's gorgeous! I'm calling this a Dad Delivers Success! Can you please help my daddy get 10,000 subscribers? Just click on his face. Thanks! Bye! Alright, this is gonna be the proper one, right?.
