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.
