Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 lb turkey breast
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 tsp sage
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 2 tsp parsley
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 large onion peeled and quartered
- 5 medium carrots cut into 2 inch pieces
- 4 celery stalks cut into 2 inch pieces
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot trivet into the bottom of your Instant Pot.
- Remove the turkey from the packaging, set any included gravy packet aside, and pat down the turkey with paper towels.
- In a small bowl mix together the butter, sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper to create a rub for the turkey.
- Rub the butter mixture over the outside of the turkey.
- Place the turkey with the large cavity side up into the Instant Pot. Pour the chicken broth inside and around the turkey. Scatter the onions, carrots, and celery around the turkey.
- Set the Instant Pot lid in place and seal/lock the lid. Close the vent.
- Cook on manual high for 1 hour, and make sure the keep warm setting is off. Allow the pressure to release naturally and wait for the pressure pin to drop before opening. This will take about 10 minutes. Once the pressure pin has dropped it is safe to open the Instant Pot.
- Remove the turkey by lifting the trivet and set it on a cutting board or transfer turkey in a large bowl to cool until you can handle it.
- Finally, slice the cooked turkey breast, serve it with your favorite dressing, and enjoy!

Notes
STORE any leftover Instant Pot Turkey in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–5 days. To FREEZE, slice or shred the turkey and place it in a freezer-safe bag with a bit of the cooking liquid to keep it moist—freeze for up to 3 months.
When REHEATING, thaw in the fridge overnight if frozen, then warm in a covered dish in the oven at 300°F (149°C) or reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of broth to keep it from drying out.
