Putenbrust aus dem Instant Pot

Zutaten

• 3 lb turkey breast ( skin on, bone-in or boneless (fully thawed). I used boneless turkey breast)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic (peeled)
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 sprigs of rosemary (only the leaves)
• 3 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or 1 TBSP cornstarch for a gluten-free gravy)
• 1 cup chicken broth (or drippings from the turkey (strained))
• Salt and pepper

Zubereitung

1. 1

   For the turkey breast: Place garlic, peppercorns, and rosemary in a food processor bowl and pulse to grind. Add butter, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika, and then pulse again to form a coarse paste. Set aside at room temperature!

2. 2

   Pat the turkey breast dry all over with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Next, massage the turkey breast with the herbed butter on all sides and also under the skin (if possible).

3. 3

   Arrange the rack of the Instant Pot inside, place the turkey breast on top (skin side up), and pour in a cup of chicken broth (beside but NOT on top of the breast). Close the lid, turn the valve to sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 18 minutes (or 6 minutes per pound thawed boneless breast).

4. 4

   When done, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then release it quickly. Allow the breast rest for 10 minutes before broiling in the oven.

5. 5

   Preheat your broiler to high. Transfer the turkey breast into a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush a mixture of honey and soy sauce on top.

6. 6

   Place on the higher rack of the oven (about 8-inches away from the heat source) and broil it for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn!

7. 7

   Tent with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with gravy and garnish as desired.

8. 8

   To make the turkey gravy: Remove the rack from the Instant Pot. Either strain the cooking liquids from the instant pot into a large bowl, or use chicken broth/stock. Reserve!

9. 9

   Press the sauté button and let the pot heat for 2 minutes. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour until forming a roux. Slowly pour in 1 cup of the liquids, while whisking well until thickened and smooth.

10. 10

    Adjust salt and pepper. Make sure your gravy is free of lumps. Serve along with the Instant Pot turkey breast.
