Whole Turkey Breast - Instant Pot
Equipment
- Electri Knife
Ingredients
- 5-7 lb turkey breast whole
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Seasoned Salt or salt and pepper
- ¼ cup dry seasonings use a combination of rubbed sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, herbs d' provance or whatever you love on your turkey
Instructions
- Thaw turkey breast completely, remove from packaging and pat dry.
- Rub surface well with olive oil, then season liberally with salt and pepper or seasoned salt of your choosing. Then coat with your herb mixture. I usually get out a measuring cup and start adding herbs (1 Tbsp rubbed sage, 1 Tbsp parsley, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp marjoram, 1tsp herbs d' provance)
- Stand turkey breast up on trivet breast side up. I prefer breast side up because the heat source is on the bottom of the pot. So, turning the breast side up gives the turkey meat a more gentle cooking and doesn't dry it out.
- Place turkey in pot, on trivet, with 1 cup of broth or water. (2 cups if you have an 8 Qt pot)
- Cook turkey on Pressure Cook. For a 5.5 lb turkey it will be 33 min and 20 NPR. Do not open the pot even if the pin drops. (Poultry is 5-6 min per lb.)
- Once the NPR is done, release the rest of the pressure and open lid. Test your meat with a meat thermometer it should be over 165. You want it at at least 165. Carefully take the meat out to rest while you get everything else ready.
- If you are just preparing sandwiches, go ahead and gather your sandwich bread and other ingredients. Carve your turkey breast into nice slices. Snitch a couple of bites just like you do at Thanksgiving!
