Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds boneless turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients on your kitchen counter.
- Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add olive oil and heat. Place the turkey breast skin-side down and sear for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
- Season both sides of the turkey with onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour chicken broth around the turkey.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
- After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then switch to quick release. Carefully remove the turkey and let it rest for at least five minutes before slicing.
- Reserve about one cup of liquid from the pot. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir this mixture back into the pot over sauté mode until thickened.
- Slice turkey and drizzle generously with homemade gravy.
