Common Questions About Air Fryer Christmas Turkey & Ham Toastie

Yes, the air fryer is perfect for making a golden, crispy toastie. It heats the filling evenly while giving the bread a beautifully toasted crunch — ideal for using up Christmas turkey and ham leftovers.
How long does it take to cook a toastie in the air fryer?
It takes around 6–8 minutes at 180°C (350°F) to cook a turkey and ham toastie in the air fryer, depending on how full it is and your air fryer model.
Can I use Christmas leftovers for this air fryer recipe?
Absolutely! This toastie is a brilliant way to use up leftover Christmas turkey, ham, stuffing, or even a spoonful of cranberry sauce for added festive flavour.
What’s the best bread to use for an air fryer toastie?
Thicker-cut bread like sourdough or a crusty bloomer works best. It holds up well in the air fryer and gives a satisfying crunch when toasted.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can assemble the toastie in advance and air fry it when ready to eat. Reheating once cooked may make the bread slightly less crisp.

Method
Step 1
Start by laying out two slices of sourdough bread. Spread cranberry sauce generously on one slice, and layer the other with butter. Then pile on a handful of stuffing followed by leftover turkey and ham slices. For extra indulgence, consider adding cheddar slices.
Step 2
Ensure each side of the sandwich is coated with butter for a crispy, golden finish. Preheat your Airfryer to 180°C (355ºF), then carefully place the sandwich in the airfryer. Cook for about 8 minutes, adjusting for desired crispiness.
Step 3
If you have leftover gravy, make the most of it by reheating it in the Air fryer. Simply transfer the gravy to a heatproof dish and place it in the Air fryer on the reheat setting for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Once the sandwich is crispy and golden, remove it from the Air fryer and allow it to cool. Serve your festive creation alongside the reheated gravy for dipping. Enjoy! For more healthy low calorie air fryer recipes take a look at The Healthy Air Fryer Book.
