Instant Pot Turkey Breast gets coated in olive oil and a homemade dry seasoning rub before being cooked up to juicy, tender perfection! Cooks in just 45 minutes!

📝 Ingredients

  • 6-7 pound turkey breast (fresh or thawed)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage (ground or rubbed)
  • 1 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon heavy cream
  • Fresh cranberries (for garnish)
  • rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Rub the turkey breast all over with olive oil. Then mix the salt, pepper, sage, and garlic powder in a small bowl rub the seasoning mix all over the turkey breast.
  2. 2Place 1 cup of chicken broth into the instant pot then add the trivet insert.
  3. 3Place the seasoned turkey breast onto the trivet, skin side up.
  4. 4Set the instant pot to cook for 40 minutes on high power. Then allow the pressure to release naturally.
  5. 5Remove the turkey from the pot and cover with tin foil until ready to serve. Or, if you would like the turkey skin to brown more and be crispy, turn the oven on low broil. Place the turkey on a baking sheet and broil until the skin is crispy and golden. Watch constantly as it can change very quickly.
  6. 6Next, make the gravy. Turn on the saute function of the instant pot. Add butter to the liquid in the instant pot. Stir until melted. Gradually add flour while whisking constantly. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. If there are lumps, an immersion blender works well. Turn off the heat. Whisk occasionally, until desired thickness. It should continue to thicken in the residual heat.
  7. 7You may pour the gravy over the turkey breast or serve it on the side.
