• Combine the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine the garlic, sage, thyme, rosemary, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a seasoning paste.
• Rub the turkey breast with the dry rub and spread it evenly under the skin. Set aside.
• Select SEAR/SAUTÉ, when it's hot, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add onion and cook just until tender. Add ½ cup of white wine, ½ cup of broth, and herbs (rosemary sprig, thyme sprig, sage leaves). Press "Keep Warm".
• Place the trivet (or Cook & Crisp™ Basket Ninja Foodi) to the pressure cooker, then add turkey, skin side up.
• Select "Manual" and set time to 20 minutes. When the cooking process is completed, allow pressure to natural release for 15 minutes.

PRESSURE COOKER / INSTANT POT TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Season turkey breast liberally with salt and pepper. (You can also season with dried thyme or your favorite spice blend under the skin if you prefer.)
• Put a trivet in the bottom of the pressure cooking pot. Add the broth, onion, celery, and thyme. Add the turkey to the cooking pot, breast-side up.
• Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and set the cook time for 30 minutes.*
• When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then use a quick pressure release.
• When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Use an instant read thermometer at the thickest part of the breast to check if the turkey is done. It should be 165°F. If needed, return the lid and cook at High Pressure for a few more minutes.
• When the turkey is done, use the trivet to carefully remove it from the cooking pot and place on a platter. Cover with foil to rest.
• To make the gravy, pour the juices in the cooking pot through a strainer and skim off the fat. (I like to use a fat separator.)
• Whisk together cornstarch and cold water; add to broth in cooking pot. Select Sauté and stir until broth thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• If you're not planning to brown the turkey: Remove the foil and discard the skin. Slice the turkey and serve immediately.
• If you would like to brown the turkey in the pressure cooking pot: Transfer the gravy to a serving dish and rinse and wipe out the cooking pot. Carefully transfer the turkey on the trivet back to the inside of the cooking pot. Lock the air fryer lid in place. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and cook until the skin is crispy and browned. (For a 5.5 pound turkey, this took me about 15 minutes in the Ninja Foodi. But be sure to check regularly!) Slice the turkey and serve immediately.
