With just a few simple ingredients and the magic of the Instant Pot, you can have a delicious turkey dinner on the table in no time. No more waiting hours for the turkey to thaw!

Ingredients

  • 1 (4-6 pound) frozen turkey breast
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and sage)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Remove the frozen turkey breast from its packaging and place it in the Instant Pot.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the dried herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the olive oil all over the turkey breast, then sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the surface.
  4. Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot, making sure it reaches about halfway up the side of the turkey breast.
  5. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position.
  6. Select the 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' setting and set the timer to 6 minutes per pound of turkey breast.
  7. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before carefully performing a quick release.
  8. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey breast. It should read at least 165°F (74°C). If not, return it to the Instant Pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  9. Carefully remove the turkey breast from the Instant Pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  10. Serve the turkey breast with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
