INSTANT POT TURKEY BREAST & GRAVY
Turkey is the centerpiece of many holiday meals, but it can be quite a production to prepare and bake! There has to be an easier way to do it, right? Right! By preparing your turkey breast in your Instant Pot, you can just about guarantee a delicious, juicy turkey breast every time. You can also save a lot of time and free up your oven!
If you’re making a whole turkey, you will still want to use your oven (as a whole turkey won’t fit in the Instant Pot). However, if you’re cooking for a smaller crowd or making a turkey breast for a family dinner, this recipe is the perfect solution!
DO I HAVE TO BASTE INSTANT POT TURKEY BREAST?
This is one of the wonderful things about this recipe – it is almost completely hands-off! No need for basting bags, foil tenting, or any of the other tricks we use to get juicy, delicious turkey breast. The quick cooking time and pressure-sealed environment do all the work for you!
And even better, the gravy is made right in the Instant Pot! No more having to babysit the turkey breast and do a bunch of dishes. That makes it a winner to me!
WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT TURKEY BREAST & GRAVY?
If you’re making this recipe for a holiday meal, just add all of your family’s favorite sides and fixings. This turkey breast is also easy enough to make for a weeknight dinner, though. In that case, you may want to add some mashed or baked potatoes, veggies or a salad, and some warm dinner rolls!
WILL INSTANT POT TURKEY BREAST AND GRAVY FREEZE WELL?
It certainly will! I would suggest freezing them separately, but both the turkey breast and the gravy will freeze well.
I hope your family loves this recipe as much as we do!
