No, 'recently' is an adverb, a verb modifier. An adverb describes the action of a verb. For instance, in the sentence, "I carefully unscrewed the jar of olives," the adverb is carefully. Carefully is an adverb because it describes the verb, or, in other words, answers the question, "How did you unscrew the jar of olives?" " I carefully unscrewed the jar of olives." or, as in your case, "I recently unscrewed the jar of olives."
