Ingredients

Scale
  • 35 lbs boneless turkey breast
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for gravy)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)

Instructions

  1. Pat the turkey breast dry and season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté.' Add olive oil and sear the turkey on both sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  3. Pour in chicken broth, secure the lid, and set to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' for 25 minutes.
  4. Allow natural pressure release for about 10 minutes before carefully releasing any remaining pressure.
  5. Remove the turkey and keep warm under foil. Switch the Instant Pot back to 'Sauté.' Mix flour with water until smooth; whisk into remaining broth until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Slice the turkey and serve topped with rich gravy.
