3. When the air fryer beeps, load the croutons into a mixing bowl with sausage meat, breadcrumbs, diced frozen onion, diced celery, sage, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands and make into stuffing balls. 

Load the turkey onto the top shelf of the air fryer oven and spread the stuffing balls around the turkey. Then, have the shelf with the baby potatoes and the sprouts at the bottom. Air fry for 35 minutes at 360 °F.

4. Remove the sprouts and replace with frozen green beans and air fry for a further 10 minutes at the same temperature. Then remove the green beans and baby potatoes.

5. Move the potatoes and place into a serving dish. Move the turkey to the bottom shelf and turn over. On the top shelf add a green bean casserole. You can make this by loading green beans into a serving dish with butter, grated Parmesan and cream. 

Season with salt and pepper. Find room in the air fryer for your gravy, and cook for a further 15 minutes.

6. Plate everything up and if anything has gone cold, just do a quick reheat using the air fryer while the turkey is resting.
