Air Fryer Stouffer’s Roast Turkey

Why You’ll Love It

Stouffer’s Roast Turkey is a homestyle classic: thick slices of tender white meat turkey served over savory cornbread stuffing, all blanketed in rich turkey gravy. Cooking it in the air fryer brings the perfect balance of hot, bubbling gravy and a crisped stuffing edge—without waiting for the oven or dealing with soggy microwave results.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen Stouffer’s Roast Turkey meal (single-serve; do not thaw)

• Optional garnish: chopped parsley, black pepper, or a side of cranberry sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F for 3–5 minutes to help everything cook evenly.

Prepare the Meal

• Remove the meal from the box, but keep it in the black tray.

• Leave the plastic film on, and poke 2–3 small holes with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Air Fry

• Place the tray directly in the air fryer basket or tray.

• Cook at 360°F for 25–28 minutes.

• At the 15-minute mark, carefully peel back the film (caution: steam!), stir the gravy, and re-cover loosely.

• Resume cooking for another 10–13 minutes, until heated through.

Check for Doneness

• Gravy should be bubbling, and turkey and stuffing should be piping hot.

• Some browning around the edges of the stuffing is ideal.

• Internal temperature should reach 165°F for safety.

• Let sit 1–2 minutes before serving.

Pro Tips

• Stir the gravy and stuffing halfway through to prevent cold spots and help moisture distribute evenly.

• For crispier stuffing, uncover completely for the last 3–4 minutes of cook time.

• Serve with a spoonful of cranberry sauce or a side of roasted green beans for a complete meal.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with:

  • Steamed green beans or roasted carrots

  • A simple side salad

  • A buttered dinner roll

• Enhance the plate:

  • Add a dollop of cranberry sauce or applesauce

  • Sprinkle turkey with cracked black pepper and a pinch of thyme
