Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter (room temp)
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 2 tbsp herbs (chopped, herbs of choice, see notes)
- 2.5 -3 lb boneless skin-on turkey breast roast (see notes)
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tbsp butter (room temp)
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup drippings (from above)
- 1.5 cup chicken stock (low sodium preferred)
Steps
-
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, and herbs.
-
Season all sides of the turkey breast generously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Rub the turkey with the herb butter. Pour the chicken stock into the Instant Pot insert and set the steam rack that came with the pot inside. Place the turkey on the rack and cook on high pressure for 6 minutes per pound of turkey. Quick release when done. Carefully remove. If desired, broil in the oven on high for crispy skin, about 2-3 minutes.
-
After you remove your turkey from the Instant Pot, you’ll probably only have a little bit over 1/2 cup of stock. If your instant pot has inner volumetric markings, top it off with chicken stock until you have 2 cups. If not, transfer to a liquid measuring cup and top off. Set aside.
-
Melt the butter over medium low heat then stir in the flour. Cook, stirring occasionally until lightly golden brown. Slowly stream in the stock/drippings while stirring. Bring to a simmer and let reduce and thicken slightly. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then serve with your turkey.
