Instructions
 

  • Place oil in your instant pot and set to saute.

  • Place the IP Trivet in the instant pot and then set the turkey breast overtop.

Notes

Cooking Tips
To Make Turkey Skin Brown: Put the boneless turkey breast into the broiler at the end. It crisps up the top of the turkey perfectly to get it that lovely golden-brown crisp skin look.
How To Know Turkey Is Cooked: The best way to check the doneness of turkey is to use a digital meat thermometer. For a turkey to be considered cooked and safe to eat, you’re needing to have an internal reading temperature of at least 165 degrees. Make sure that you’re using the thermometer in the thickest part of the turkey breast when you’re trying to get an accurate reading.
