Instructions
- Pat the turkey breast dry. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil all over the turkey breast and rub it in. Mix all herbs & seasonings in a small bowl and rub the mixture over the turkey breast.
- Turn the Instant Pot to the ‘Saute’ setting on High. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil to the Instant Pot and once the oil is hot, add the turkey breast. Sear the turkey breast on all sides. Should take about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the breast to a plate or a cutting board.
- Add the Instant Pot’s wire rack, add 1 cup of chicken broth then place the turkey on top. Close the lid and turn the valve to ‘Sealing’. Set the Instant Pot to the Manual setting and set the timer to 25 minutes on high pressure. (cook 6 minutes per lb, adjust the pressure cook time depending how heavy the turkey breast is.)
- Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, release the pressure naturally, about 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and using kitchen tongs, transfer the breast to a cutting board, cover completely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into it. Make sure to remove the butcher twine before slicing it. If you would like to have a crispier skin on the turkey breast, place it on a baking sheet and broil it in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Gravy
- Take the turkey drippings from the Instant Pot and pour into a measuring cup through a mesh sieve, discarding all the large pieces. If necessary, add more chicken broth to the turkey drippings to make 2 cups of liquid.
- Mix 2 tablespoons flour with 2 tablespoons from the turkey dripping. Once they are well mixed, add the slurry and a little bit heavy cream to the pot, set to the ‘Saute’ setting, and whisk the sauce for about 3 – 4 minutes until gravy is thick and smooth. Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.
- Transfer gravy to a gravy boat and serve.
Notes
- Don't skip searing the turkey breast. This helps to lock in flavor and keep the meat juicy.
- Cook the turkey breast for 6 minutes per pound and naturally release the pressure.
- Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes while you make the gravy before slicing and serving.
