Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground paprika
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (3 pound) frozen boneless turkey breast in mesh, thawed, with gravy packet reserved
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 3 stalks celery, cut into 4-inch pieces
- 1/2 onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/2 cup water, or as needed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Combine paprika, herbes de Provence, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a blend of seasonings. Position the trivet on a flat surface, which is typically found in multi-functional pressure cookers such as Instant Pot.
2
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels on all sides, ensuring it is free of moisture. Be sure to leave the mesh intact, as this helps hold the turkey together. Apply a thin layer of olive oil to the turkey breast and then sprinkle with dry seasonings. Set the gravy packet aside for later use.
3
Activate the pressure cooker and select the Saute function to heat the inner pot. Allow it to warm up for 1-2 minutes, then add any remaining oil and carefully place the turkey breast in the pot to brown on all sides. This should take around 5 minutes. Remove the turkey breast and place it on the trivet, then pour in the chicken stock to deglaze the pot. Scrape up any browned bits using a wooden spoon and place the trivet, turkey breast, celery, and onions around it. Cancel the Saute function.
4
Close the lid of the pressure cooker and ensure it is locked in place. Set the valve to seal and select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Set a timer for 25 minutes, allowing 10-15 minutes for pressure to build.
5
Release the pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, which should take around 15 minutes. Carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method.
6
Open the pot and check the internal temperature of the turkey breast with an instant-read thermometer. The safe internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the turkey breast from the pot and place it on a cutting board, covering it with aluminum foil. Remove the trivet from the pressure cooker and turn off the device.
7
Strain the cooking liquid into a glass measuring cup, adding enough water to make 1 1/2 cups. Return the inner pot to the pressure cooker and add butter, then select the Saute function. Sprinkle flour into the melted butter and whisk it briskly to avoid lumps. Whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes, then gradually add the cooking liquid, stirring constantly. Pour in the contents of the gravy packet and cook until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly, 5-10 minutes. Cancel the Saute function and pour the gravy into a serving container.
8
Slice the turkey breast and serve warm with the homemade gravy.
