Notes
Just a quick marinade is all that's needed to make air fried turkey tenderloins, but if you have the time you can leave the turkey in the marinade for up to 24 hours.
The cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer model. Use our timing as a guide and we highly recommend that you use a digital meat thermometer and cook it until the temperature reaches 165 F when checked in the thickest part of the turkey breast tenderloin.
