Equipment

  • Ninja Foodi

Ingredients

  • 4 pound bone-in turkey breast
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 apple quartered
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 4 cups turkey or chicken stock divided
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour or gluten free flour
  • cup apple cider
  • ½ apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Season

  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture inside the turkey cavity and over the outside of the bird.
  • Refrigerate the seasoned bird overnight.

Pressure Cook

  • Place the apple and onion in the cavity of the bird.
  • Pour 1 cup of the stock in the bottom of the inner pot of your Ninja Foodi and place the rack on top of it.
  • Place the turkey on the rack, with the meat side up.
  • Close the lid, and set to high pressure. (Make sure the pressure valve is closed.) Cook for 12 to 18 minutes, or about 3 minutes per pound of meat. When the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes and then do a quick release.

Air Fry

  • After the pressure has released, brush the turkey with the melted butter. Set the Ninja Foodi to Air Fry, and set the temperature to 375° F. Set the time to 15 minutes.
  • Close the lid, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the meat is browned. Make sure you check during the last 5 minutes to avoid over browning your meat.
  • Carefully remove the turkey and the rack from your Foodi. Brush with the remaining butter, and tent with aluminum foil.

Gravy

  • While the turkey rests, whisk together 1 cup of the remaining stock and the flour in the Foodi. Set to high saute and add the remaining stock and the apple cider to the Foodi.
  • Boil, whisking often with a silicone whisk, for 10 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Stir in the apple sider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.
