Air Fryer Loaded Baked Potatoes with Turkey and Cheese

Twice-cooked loaded potatoes with butter, cream cheese, smoked turkey and melted mozzarella. The air fryer crisps the skin and melts the cheese in minutes.
Microwave or pressure-cook the potatoes first to cut the cooking time. Top with chives or green onions.
