Instant Pot Turkey Breast with Gravy


  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale

For the Turkey:

  • 34 lb turkey breast, boneless and skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup turkey or chicken broth (from the Instant Pot)

Instructions

Prepare the Turkey

  1. Season the Turkey: Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
  2. Sauté: Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add the olive oil and brown the turkey breast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Pressure Cook: Add the chicken broth to the Instant Pot, then close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 40 minutes.
  4. Release Pressure: After the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.

Make the Gravy

  1. Remove Turkey and Set Aside: Carefully remove the turkey from the Instant Pot and set it on a cutting board to rest.
  2. Make Roux: Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode again. Melt butter in the pot, then stir in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden.
  3. Add Broth: Slowly whisk in the turkey or chicken broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Continue to stir until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Serve

  1. Slice the Turkey: Slice the turkey breast and serve with the homemade gravy poured over the top.
