Follow this simple guide to learn how long to cook boneless turkey breast in the Nuwave oven along with tips for choosing the right size, seasoning, temperature and more

Benefits of Using the Nuwave Oven

Cooking boneless, skinless turkey breast in the Nuwave oven offers several advantages over roasting in a traditional oven:

• Faster cooking – The turkey breast is done in about half the time thanks to the Nuwave’s combination of infrared, convection and conduction heat

• Juicy and tender – The infrared heat penetrates deep to cook the meat evenly while sealing in moisture

• Convenient – No preheating is required so you can pop in the turkey breast and walk away until it’s ready.

• Easy monitoring – The clear dome lets you watch the entire cooking process.

Choosing the Right Size Turkey Breast

When selecting a boneless, skinless turkey breast to cook in the Nuwave oven, opt for one between 1-3 pounds.

• A 1 pound breast is good for 2-3 servings.
• A 2-3 pound breast can feed about 4-6 people.

Make sure the breast will lie flat evenly on the cooking rack for the best results.

Seasoning for Delicious Flavor

Seasoning is key for bringing out the best flavor. Follow these tips:

• Rub the turkey breast evenly with olive oil or butter. This helps the seasoning adhere.

• Coat all sides with your choice of herbs and spices. Ideas include rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, cumin, paprika, celery salt and pepper.

• Let the breast absorb the flavors for 30 minutes up to overnight in the fridge. This really boosts the flavor.

Setting Up the Nuwave Oven

Preheating isn’t necessary with the Nuwave oven so you can go straight to cooking once your turkey breast is prepped:

• Place the power head on a sturdy surface and add in the cooking rack.

• Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.

• Place the seasoned turkey breast directly on top of the rack.

• For easier cleanup, you can line the base with foil before adding the rack.

Turkey Breast Cook Times

Set the Nuwave oven to 350°F on the temperature dial, around level 8-10 depending on your model. Use these time guidelines:

• 1 pound breast: Cook for 30-35 minutes
• 2 pound breast: Cook for 60-70 minutes
• 3 pound breast: Cook for 80-90 minutes

Flip the breast halfway through to promote even cooking on both sides. If it browns too quickly, tent foil over top.

Checking Temperature for Doneness

The best way to confirm doneness is to use an instant read thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of breast, being careful not to hit bone.

• Turkey breast is safely cooked at a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.

• If needed, continue roasting in 5 minute increments until 165°F is reached.

Let the cooked turkey breast rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute for moist, tender meat.

Handy Tips for Turkey Perfection

• Brining the turkey breast in salted water boosts moisture and flavor.

• Baste with pan juices halfway through roasting.

• Add potato chunks, carrots or other veggies during the last 30 mins to roast.

• Top sliced turkey with gravy or cranberry sauce for a quick meal.
