Tender, flavorful turkey breast, made in under 45 minutes cook time from start to finish! If you’ve spent any time perusing the Internet for recipes in the last year or so, chances are you’ve come across the Instant Pot. As one of the newest trends in home appliances, the Instant Pot is marketed as being a multi-use pressure cooker capable of cooking a variety of foods with cooking times two to six times faster than traditional methods. It’s safe, energy-efficient, and versatile, and in recent years has been finding its way into the shopping carts of home cooks and professional chefs alike. What is the best kind of turkey breast to buy? This recipe calls specifically for bone-in, skin-on turkey breasts, which are both more flavorful and economical than boneless turkey breasts sold as skinless cutlets. As the turkey cooks, the fat from the skin renders into the bottom of the Instant Pot, just like with roasted turkey in the oven. If time allows, these drippings can be used to make a quick gravy on the stove top. The Instant Pot even has a “keep warm” function that will keep the turkey breasts from going cold while you whip up the gravy, ensuring everything is served together at the perfect temperature. If you’re in a rush or just don’t feel like standing over a stove, rest assured these pressure-cooker turkey breasts are delicious just as they are! Whether you make this recipe for a weeknight main course with mashed potatoes, as part of your Sunday meal prep, or even a traditional American Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, cranberry sauce and all, we promise these near-effortless Instant Pot Turkey Breasts will be a hit at the table! The recipe is a Yummly original created by Sara Mellas. Read Less
