Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, quartered
1 apple, cut into chunks
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 (.87 ounce) package turkey gravy mix
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried sage
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (3 pound) frozen boneless turkey breast (such as Butterball®)
1 cup water
½ cup quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®)

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and the select Saute function. Melt butter in the pot. Saute onion, apple, and celery until onion and celery are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add broth; scrape off bits from the bottom of the pot. Add gravy mix; stir until dissolved.
  • Combine kosher salt, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, sage, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Rub onto the turkey breast.
  • Lower a trivet into the pot; place seasoned turkey on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 50 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
  • Mix water and quick-mixing flour together slowly in a bowl until slurry is smooth.
  • Unlock the lid and open the pot; transfer turkey to a plate. Strain the liquid from the pot; return it to the pot and select Saute function. Bring to a boil. Stir in the slurry slowly until gravy is thickened to your satisfaction. Slice turkey and serve with gravy.

Tips:

  • Thaw the turkey breast partially: This will help it cook more evenly in the Instant Pot.
  • Use a trivet: This will keep the turkey breast elevated and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add liquid: This will help to keep the turkey breast moist and prevent it from drying out. You can use water, broth, or a combination of both.
  • Season the turkey breast: This will help to add flavor to the meat. You can use your favorite seasoning blend or simply salt and pepper.
  • Cook on high pressure: This will help to cook the turkey breast quickly and evenly. You should cook the turkey breast for 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Let the turkey breast rest: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender. You should let the turkey breast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Cooking a frozen turkey breast in the Instant Pot is a quick and easy way to get a delicious and juicy meal on the table. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey breast turns out perfectly every time.
