Recipe type: Turkey
Cuisine: Thanksgiving
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1 turkey breast (bone-in)
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 4-6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ½-3/4 cup water (This depends on how juicy your orange and lemon are.)
Instructions
  1. Thaw your turkey breast. I leave mine in the fridge for a day or two before I plan to cook it.
  2. Remove any giblets or gravy packets that come in your turkey breast.
  3. Place the turkey breast in the Instant Pot breast-side down.
  4. Next, squeeze the juice from the orange and lemon over the turkey breast.
  5. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper.
  6. Peel the garlic cloves and add a couple into the cavity of the turkey and throw the rest in anywhere, or if you want to, you can make slits in the breast and push them into the meat.
  7. You need 1 cup of liquid. So depending on how juicy your orange and lemon are, you will need to add anywhere from ½ cup to ¾ cup of water to equal 1 cup.
  8. Next, place the butter in the Instant Pot.
  9. Put the lid on and set to high pressure for 50 minutes if totally thawed or 60 minutes if still slightly frozen.
  10. When it's done cooking, you can either let it naturally release or do a quick release.
  11. Remove the turkey breast, and then you can turn the pot setting to saute and make gravy out of the drippings.
