AIR FRIED ROSEMARY TURKEY BREAST  
For back-to-school turkey sandwiches, a scrumptious weeknight meal or upcoming family feasts, air frying a turkey breast results in crispy, golden skin and tender, juicy meat.  A buttermilk brine will add tenderness and fresh herbs impart rich, delicious flavor.  Be sure to buy a turkey breast that fits in your air fryer and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Ingredients:
One 2-pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast

2 cups buttermilk

2 teaspoons freshly minced rosemary

1 teaspoon freshly minced sage

1 teaspoon freshly minced parsley

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil

Salt & freshly ground pepper

Directions:
Place the turkey breast in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the buttermilk.  Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon ground pepper and seal the bag.  Shake to coat well, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Remove the turkey breast from the buttermilk and pat dry using paper towels.  In a small mixing bowl, combine the rosemary, sage, parsley, garlic and olive oil.  Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper and mix to combine.  Rub the herb mixture onto the top of the turkey breast and place it in the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 330ºF for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.  The internal temperature of the turkey breast should reach 165ºF when fully cooked.

Transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

AIR FRYER GAME DAY NACHOS
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love nachos!  For the Big Game, football parties, Taco Tuesday and more, these pantry-based nachos air fry in 3-minutes, so you’ll never have to make your fans wait!

Ingredients:
3 cups tortilla chips

1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup canned fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained

4 ounces canned fire-roasted green chilies

2 cups shredded Mexican Blend cheese

Green Onions, sour cream & avocado

AIR FRYER HARD BOILED EGGS
Chef Jamie Gwen loves her Kalorik Air Fryer more for fries and air-fried chicken and crispy shrimp and more…but especially for Hard Boiled Eggs!  Making hard boiled eggs will never be the same; no worry about whether they’re simmering or boiling over, no heating up the kitchen, no worry about the cook time.  Just set the rack in your air fryer and take the eggs directly from the fridge.  18 minutes later say hello to a protein-packed snack, deviled eggs, egg salad, etc.!

Ingredients:
10 eggs

Wire rack

Directions:
Set your wire rack inside the basket and place the eggs on top of the rack. Set the temperature to 250ºF and the timer to 18 minutes.  After the eggs are done carefully remove them from the air fryer and place them in a bowl of ice water, to stop the cooking process (and to make them easier to peel!).  Then peel the eggs and enjoy!

10-MINUTE CHICKEN PARMESAN in the AIR FRYER
It doesn’t get any better than this!  Lean and clean for the New Year, this chicken parmesan uses a minimal amount of good-for-you olive oil and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese for a crispy coating (and less breading)…but you still get all the comfort of melting cheese and rich red sauce.  While it’s cooking, toss a salad and get ready to feast.

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to make 

4 thinner cutlets

1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs 

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Extra-virgin olive oil

3/4 cup sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese 

1/2 cup homemade or store-bought marinara sauce

Olive oil non-stick cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat the air fryer to 360F° while you prep the chicken.

Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl and mix well.

Brush each chicken breast with olive oil on both sides and place the chicken breasts in the breadcrumb mixture, one at a time, pressing the coating onto both sides.

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the coated chicken breasts in the basket.  Spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray.

Air fry at 370ºF for 7 minutes.  Carefully turn the chicken breasts over and top each with a layer of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.  Air fry at 370ºF for 3 minutes more or until the cheese is melted.
Serves 2
