Instant Pot Turkey Breast with Gravy

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Turkey Breast with Gravy.

1. Step 1

   Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and melting a generous pat of butter right in the pot.

2. Step 2

   Once the butter is bubbling, toss in the quartered onion, apple chunks, and chopped celery.

3. Step 3

   Sauté these delightful ingredients for about five minutes, allowing the onion and celery to soften and become slightly translucent, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

4. Step 4

   Next, pour in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any tasty bits stuck to the bottom of the pot—this is where the flavor lives! Stir in the turkey gravy mix until it’s completely dissolved, creating a rich base for your dish.

5. Step 5

   In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, sage, and garlic powder.

6. Step 6

   This fragrant blend is your secret weapon—rub it all over the turkey breast, ensuring every inch is seasoned to perfection.

7. Step 7

   Now, place a trivet in the pot and set the seasoned turkey breast right on top, ready to soak up all those delicious flavors.

8. Step 8

   Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot, then select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for 50 minutes.

9. Step 9

   As the pot heats up, it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build, so take a moment to savor the anticipation.

10. Step 10

    When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally according to your Instant Pot’s instructions—this could take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes, but trust us, it’s worth the wait.

11. Step 11

    While your turkey is resting, grab a bowl and mix together some water and quick-mixing flour to create a smooth slurry.

12. Step 12

    This will be the magic ingredient for your gravy! Once the pressure has fully released, unlock the lid and carefully transfer the turkey to a plate, letting it rest while you work on the gravy.

13. Step 13

    Strain the liquid left in the pot and return it to the pot, then select the 'Sauté' function again and bring the liquid to a gentle boil.

14. Step 14

    Now, slowly stir in your slurry, watching as the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

15. Step 15

    It’s the perfect finishing touch! Finally, slice the turkey and serve it up with that luscious gravy drizzled on top.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy the fruits of your labor and the smiles around the table as everyone digs in!.
