How to make Instant Pot Turkey Breast:

1. Test to see if your turkey breast fits into your Instant Pot with the trivet

2. Place the trivet into the Instant Pot and add 1 1/2 cups of water.

3. In a bowl mix all of the seasonings together then stuff your turkey with an apple and vegetables. Coat the turkey with olive oil then rub the seasoning onto the turkey.

4. Next, you will place the turkey on the trivet inside of the Instant Pot.

5. Close the Instant Pot and set the value to sealing. Set it to manual or pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. When the cycle is complete, let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes before setting the valve to quick release.

6. Check the internal temperature of the turkey breast using an instant-read thermometer. The target temperature is 165 degrees.

7.  If you wanting a crispy skin on the Turkey Beast, preheat your oven broiler. Place the turkey breast on a baking sheet or casserole dish. Put under the broiler until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the distance of the turkey breast from the broiler. Do not overcook. Allow turkey breast to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
