Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
  • 2-3 lb Skin-On Turkey Breast
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter softened
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 3 teaspoons Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock

Instructions

  • Place oil in your instant pot and set to saute.
  • Rub the turkey breast all over with butter and then season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
  • Once the oil is hot, place the turkey breast skin side-down and brown completely, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Flip and brown the underside for 2 minutes before removing the turkey breast to a clean plate.
  • Turn the saute setting off and add the chicken broth or water to the instant pot.
  • Place the Trivet in the instant pot and then set the turkey breast back in.
  • Secure the lid and set to poultry to cook for 6-7 minutes per pound, so 14 minutes for a 2lb turkey breast, 21 minutes for a 3lb turkey breast, etc.
  • Allow natural release for 10 minutes.
  • If desired, place the turkey breast under the broiler for 2 minutes to crisp up the skin a bit more.
