LISTENIngredients
2 turkey drumsticks
2 turkey wings
2 turkey thighs
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. dried thyme
½ tsp. chili flakes
kosher salt, and black pepper, to taste
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Pat the turkey pieces dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried thyme, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Step 3
Rub each piece of turkey with olive oil, then generously apply the spice rub, massaging it into the skin and under if possible.
Step 4
Let the turkey pieces marinate with the rub on for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F. Place the turkey pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
Step 6
Air fry the turkey for about 25-30 minutes for wings and drumsticks and 30-35 minutes for thighs, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy and browned. Flip the pieces halfway through cooking.
Step 7
Once cooked, let the turkey pieces rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve your spice-rubbed air-fried turkey pieces hot. Serve with a side of gluten-free gravy or your favorite dipping sauce.
