Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme. Mix well.

Loosen the skin from the turkey thighs by gently running your fingers or a spoon between the skin and the meat. Be careful not to tear the skin.

Drizzle the olive oil or avocado oil over the seasoned turkey thighs, and use your hands to rub the oil all over the thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Spread some of the oil underneath the loosened skin.

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the turkey thighs, making sure to cover all sides, including under the skin.

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes.

Place the turkey thighs in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.

Air fry the turkey thighs for 25-30 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time.

Check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thighs with a meat thermometer. The thighs are fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

If the thighs are not yet fully cooked, continue air frying in 5-minute increments until the desired temperature is reached.

Once cooked, remove the turkey thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Optionally, you can brush the thighs with melted butter or drizzle them with your favorite sauce before serving.
