Instructions

Pat the turkey breasts dry with paper towels. Season liberally on both sides with the salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the thyme, sage, and garlic powder.

Insert the trivet/steamer rack into the bowl of the Instant Pot, and pour in the chicken broth. Lay the turkey breasts inside the trivet.

Secure the lid on the Instant Pot. Set the timer to 35 minutes on the Pressure Cook” setting, and press start.

When the Instant Pot beeps indicating the cooking cycle is complete, press Cancel” and allow the steam to pressure release naturally. This natural release may take 5-10 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Skin Crisp Technique 🔥
After pressure cooking, use the air fryer lid or broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the turkey skin and create a golden-brown exterior.
Brine for Moisture 💧
Brine the turkey breast for 2-4 hours before cooking to ensure maximum moisture and flavor penetration, especially important for lean poultry.
Seasoning Layer Hack 🌿
Create a flavor paste by mixing dried herbs with softened butter and gently rubbing it under the turkey skin for deeper, more intense seasoning.
Liquid Gold Gravy 🥄
Collect the drippings from the Instant Pot and use cornstarch or arrowroot to create an instant, rich gravy with concentrated turkey flavor.
Resting Rack Pro Tip 🍽️
Use a wire rack inside the Instant Pot to elevate the turkey breast, allowing even heat circulation and preventing soggy bottom skin.
