Ingredients
3lbButterball (or other) Turkey Breastthe herb one is nice
2-3stalksceleryto fit on the bottom of pot
1onioncut in large chunks
2Tbspbuttersliced in pats
1 Tbsppoultry seasoning
2 lemon slicesoptional
1sprigrosemary
4clovesgarlic
2cupschicken broth
2packetsMcCormick Turkey Gravy Mix
Instructions
Turkey
Place the chopped celery, onion, garlic cloves, and chicken broth in the bottom of the pressure cooker pot.
Remove outer packaging from the turkey. Leave the inner string netting on.
Rub poultry seasoning on turkey breast and place on trivet over the other ingredients and set turkey on top.
Place lemon slices and then sprig of rosemary on top of turkey breast
Close the lid to pressure cooker and turn valve to sealing. Since each pressure cooker is a little different, here are a few options for settings: 50 minutes on either poultry, meat/stew, OR high pressure. Any of those should work.
After the cook time is over, let pressure cooker naturally vent for 10-15 minutes, then open the valve to continue to release.
Gravy
Remove turkey and set aside.
Strain the vegetables from the broth.
Turn pressure cooker to sauté and add both packets of gravy. Whisk continuously while cooking to achieve a smooth gravy, 2-4 minutes. Gravy will thicken when removed from heat.
Notes
For 2 frozen turkeys cooked at the same time, consider adding 5-10 additional minutes to cook time. For 2 thawed turkeys, I cooked for 40 minutes. If cooking one turkey, I would cut the time to 30-35 minutes instead.
