Pressure Cooker Turkey Breast
Report
Making turkey breast in the pressure cooker is the easiest and best way to prepare it! It comes out tender, moist, and so flavorful every time! The best part is that you cook it from frozen so you can make it without having to remember to thaw it several days ahead of time.

Ingredients
- 1 turkey breast roast Butterball brand, 3 lb
- 1 tbsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tbsp butter cut into pats
- 2 lemon optional, slices
- 1 rosemary sprig
- 1 onion quartered
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 turkey gravy mix McCormick brand, packets
Instructions
- Remove the packaging from the turkey then run it under warm water until you can separate and remove the gravy packet from the turkey breast. You can leave the inner netting on while cooking. Rub the outside of the chicken with the poultry seasoning and set aside.
- Place the celery, onion, garlic cloves, and chicken broth in the bottom of the pressure cooker pot. Place the trivet in and set the turkey breast roast on top of it. Place the butter pats, lemon slices and rosemary on top of the turkey breast.
- Close the lid to the pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing. Then use poultry mode and adjust the time to 55 minutes and let cook (see note section for altitude adjustments.) When cooking is done, natural release for an additional 20 minutes. Then open the lid and check the temperature which should be 170˚F throughout.
- Remove the roast and strain the vegetables, reserving the broth and pour it back into the pressure cooker pot and add both gravy mixes. Turn the pot on to sauté and whisk continuously until it comes to a boil and then about 3-5 additional minutes until it thickens. Turn the pressure cooker off and remove the gravy from the heat.
- Cut off the netting and serve warm with as little or as much gravy as you want! Enjoy!
Notes
- IMPORTANT NOTE: I have made this many times cooking it for 45 minutes with it turning out perfectly. I am located at sea level. If you are in a higher altitude, you may need to raise the cook time about 5-10 minutes.
- To prepare this recipe as written the turkey must be frozen. If the turkey is thawed you can use the same method with a reduced cook time.
- This recipe was created using a 6 qt Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. Modifications may need to be made for other types of pressure cookers.
