Instant Pot Thanksgiving Turkey Breast and Gravy

  • Author: Fluffy

Description

Ever have a thanksgiving alone and want to make yourself a nice thanksgiving meal without the giant turkey to deal with? No problem. We usually have thanksgiving dinner every year at my brother’s house but I must admit that I do enjoy a thanksgiving dinner at any time during the year. So for all you out there that wants to make a nice thanksgiving dinner with yourself when you aren’t with your family, here’s a great recipe for you.

One of the best things about this recipe is that you’re going to get some super moist turkey breast without having to worry about the particulars of overcooking the bird. Ever be at thanksgiving and the bird comes out and you take a bite into it and it’s just absolutely dry? The only answer is to just dump gravy on it.

The instant pot will do all the heavy lifting for you and you just throw it in and walk away. No need to carefully measure everything or spend hours and hours over the oven.

Enjoy!
