It is so easy to cook tender and flavorful turkey necks in the air fryer, using minimal added oil. You could even omit the oil entirely, although it does prevent the turkey from sticking to the air fryer basket.

How To Make Air Fryer Turkey Necks

Lay out turkey necks on a preparation surface. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Rub seasonings and oil onto turkey necks, then place turkey in the air fryer basket. Lay turkey necks out in a single layer so they cook evenly.

Replace basket in air fryer and heat turkey necks to 375 for 15 minutes. Halfway through cooking time, pause the air fryer and pull the basket out. Using tongs or a spatula, flip turkey necks over. Place basket back in air fryer and continue cooking.

Once time is up, check that turkey necks are done cooking. If they need a little more time, go ahead and cook for a couple more minutes.

As soon as turkey necks are done, use a spatula to move them from the air fryer basket to a serving plate. Now they are ready to be enjoyed!

Cooking Tips
