Instant Pot Turkey Breast
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless-skinless turkey breast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or any brown mustard
- 1-2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Gravy
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3-4 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Combine all the seasonings: salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, sage, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat the turkey breast dry with a paper towel, then rub the seasoning mixture on the pork loin, making sure to cover each side.
- In a small mixing bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, add chicken broth, garlic, molasses, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until well combined.
- Place the turkey breast in the instant pot, add the sauce, and secure the lid with the vent set to "Sealing". Pressure cook on HIGH for 25 minutes. Allow a Natural Release for 10-15 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- To make the gravy for the turkey, remove the liquid from the Instant Pot; it should measure to about 2 cups. Add butter and set the Instant Pot to Saute. Gradually add the flour to thicken, creating a roux. Slowly whisk back in the sauce, followed by 1 cup of chicken broth (you should use about 3 cups of fluid between the sauce and the chicken broth). Cook until desired thickness.
- Slice the turkey and serve with gravy.
