Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the turkey tenderloin with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you overcrowd the basket, the turkey tenderloin will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the turkey tenderloin until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the turkey tenderloin should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey tenderloin rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
