Instant Pot Turkey Breast is delicious, easy, and quick to prepare. It’s a wonderful way to prepare turkey for your holiday dinner or busy evening!

We love Instant Pot recipes. Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Apple Pork Chops and Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes!

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!

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
