Instant Pot Turkey Breast

Step 1

Season the turkey breast with salt & pepper. Turn the Instant Pot on to Saute and add oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the turkey breast, skin side down. Allow to cook for 5-6 minutes or until browned.

Step 3

Remove the turkey from the Instant Pot and add broth. Scrape any brown bits off the bottom.

Step 4

Place the onion slices and herbs in the bottom of the Instant Pot with the broth. Add the trivet.

Step 5

Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on the trivet.

Step 6

Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 22 minutes. Once the cycle is completed, allow the turkey to naturally release for 10 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.

Step 7

Use a thermometer to ensure the turkey breast has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. For a crispy skin, place the turkey under the broiler for 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Remove broth and strain. Set aside.

Step 9

Turn the Instant Pot on to saute and combine 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, and poultry seasoning if using. Cook in the Instant Pot for 1 minute while stirring.

Step 10

Add the strained broth a little bit at a time, whisking after each addition, to reach desired thickness. It will be thick at first but will thin out.

Step 11

Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste (and stir in additional fresh herbs if desired).
