Serving4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 lbs turkey breast, thawed
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of olive oil all over the turkey breast and rub it in.
- In a small bowl, combine the spices.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the outside of the turkey breast.
- Add the trivet (wire rack that came with your Instant Pot) into the bottom of the pot. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the pot. Place the turkey on top of the trivet.
- Close the lid and push MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) and set the timer to 25 minutes.
- Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, let the pot do a natural release cycle (should take about 10 to 15 minutes - you will hear the pin drop when the pressure has naturally released).
- Carefully unlock and remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
- Transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board, cover completely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into it.
- If crispier skin is desired, broil it in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Cut turkey into slices and serve.
Notes
The general rule of thumb for cooking poultry in the Instant Pot is 6 minutes per pound with a 10 minute NPR (Natural Pressure Release).
- 4 lb Turkey or Turkey Breast = 24 minutes + 10 minutes NPR
- 8 lb Turkey or Turkey Breast = 48 minutes + 10 minutes NPR
