Notes

  • Paprika adds lots of beautiful color to thighs so add as much as you want.
  • Make sure that the skin is completely dry before cooking, extra moisture will prevent skin from getting crispy.
  • You can cook more then one thigh at a time. Typically air fryer will fit up to 4 turkey thighs at once, depending on the size. Cooking time will remain the same, as long as there is space between turkey in the basket for the air to circulate.
  • 1 big turkey thigh will feed two people, with sides.
