Ingredients
- 1 (4-6 pound) frozen turkey breast
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions
- Remove the frozen turkey breast from its packaging and place it in the Instant Pot.
- In a small bowl, mix together the dried herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the olive oil all over the turkey breast, then sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the surface.
- Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot, making sure it reaches about halfway up the side of the turkey breast.
