Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, quartered

Tips:

To ensure your turkey breast cooks evenly, pound it to an even thickness before cooking.
Season the turkey breast generously with your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
Use a cooking liquid that will help to keep the turkey breast moist and flavorful. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or white wine are all good options.
Cook the turkey breast on high pressure for 10-12 minutes per pound. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.

Conclusion:

Cooking turkey breast in the Instant Pot is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a perfectly cooked turkey breast that is moist, flavorful, and tender. Whether you are cooking for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, the Instant Pot turkey breast is a surefire hit.
