Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 1 Boneless Turkey Breast (2-3 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Equipment Needed:
- Instant Pot
- Meat Thermometer
The boneless turkey breast becomes incredibly tender in the instant pot because it cooks under pressure. Olive oil prevents the turkey from sticking to the pot and adds flavor. Chicken broth also provides flavor and creates steam in the pot, which helps to cook the turkey. As for the garlic, it brings out a unique taste that makes the dish irresistible.
How To Make Instant Pot Turkey Breast
- First, Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper. Then heat the Instant Pot on saut�� mode and add olive oil. Sear the turkey breast in the pot until it turns golden brown on all sides.
- Next, Remove the turkey and add chicken broth and minced garlic to the pot. Scrap off all the brown bits from the bottom. Then put the trivet inside the pot and place the turkey breast on top of it.
- Now, Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to the “Pressure Cook” mode for 35 minutes. Once the time is up, allow 10 minutes for natural pressure release.
- Last but not least, Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey breast has reached 165�� F. If not, cook them again for an additional 5 minutes. Your juicy and delicious turkey is ready to be served!
