     I have been loving cooking in my Instant Pot.  It seems like it drives the flavor into the roasts I have cooked.

     Has anyone tried cooking a large turkey breast (Bone in) in an Instant Pot?  I'd like to try it and would appreciate any advice, recipes, etc.  Thanks!

Another Turkey Breast Pressure Cooker Recipe

I do turkey breasts all the time in my pressure cooker. There is NO OTHER WAY to cook a turkey breast than in a pressure cooker, once you've tried it and see how moist the meat is.

I use two cups of broth, season as I like, cut an onion into quarters, put in a couple carrots and celery ribs in chunks.

I do brown mine a little in oil first in my cooker, then put in the broth and veggies.

I do mine on full pressure for 40 minutes. Let pressure come down on its own. Once down remove veggies....toss.....take turkey and set aside.....right in the pressure cooker I make my gravy from the broth. Re-season if necessary.

Sure hope this comes out great for you.....
