Bacon-wrapped turkey breast from the airfryer

Name: Bacon-wrapped turkey breast from the airfryer
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 600 g turkey breast (in one piece); 1 tbsp medium-hot mustard; 1 tsp salt; pepper to taste; 1 tsp sweet paprika; 1 tsp dried thyme; 8 slice streaky bacon

A German everyday dish that comes to the table all over the country: a piece of turkey breast seasoned with medium-hot mustard, paprika and thyme and wrapped in streaky bacon like roof tiles. The jacket keeps the lean meat juicy and turns crisp itself — unlike turkey breast without bacon, which easily dries out in the hot airflow. In the basket the heat passes the meat on every side, so the underside browns as well; on the other hand, no roasting juices are left for a sauce.

Instructions

1
Pat the turkey breast dry all over.
2
Spread the medium-hot mustard thinly all round the meat.
3
Mix the salt, the pepper, the sweet paprika and the dried thyme and rub the meat with it.
4
Lay the slices of streaky bacon around the piece, overlapping like roof tiles, so that it is covered all over, and tuck the ends underneath so that they do not lift up in the airflow.
5
Preheat the airfryer to 180 °C.
6
Lay the meat seam side down in the basket in a single layer with space around it and do not stack anything; cook larger quantities in two batches. Cook at 180 °C.
7
Turn the piece carefully so that the jacket does not come apart, and finish cooking it at 180 °C until the core of the meat has reached 75 °C.
8
Let the turkey breast rest on a warmed board and only then cut it into slices.
