A tender, juicy turkey breast cooked effortlessly in the Instant Pot, paired with rich and flavorful garlic butter gravy. Herb-infused butter keeps the turkey moist while the easy homemade gravy elevates it to a comforting, restaurant-quality meal.

Ingredients

5–6 pounds (2.267 kg) boneless turkey breast

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 ½ tablespoons finely chopped rosemary

1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme

1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro (optional)

2 teaspoons crushed coriander seeds (optional)

1 teaspoon garlic purée

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (236 ml) chicken stock

For Keto Gravy: ¼ lemon, juiced; ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum

For Regular Gravy: 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix butter, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, crushed coriander seeds (if using), garlic purée, and salt to make herb butter.
  2. Spread the herb butter evenly over the turkey breast.
  3. Pour chicken stock into the Instant Pot and place a trivet inside. Place turkey on the trivet.
  4. Seal the Instant Pot and cook on Manual/Pressure Cook for 30–35 minutes, depending on size. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
  5. Prepare the gravy:
    • Keto: Strain cooking juices into a saucepan, add lemon juice, whisk in xanthan gum over low heat until thickened.
    • Regular: Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry, strain cooking juices into saucepan, bring to simmer, whisk in slurry until thickened.
  6. Slice the turkey breast and pour garlic butter gravy over the top before serving.

Notes

Add garlic cloves or onion wedges in the Instant Pot for extra aromatics.

Swap cilantro for parsley or sage for a different flavor profile.

Add smoked paprika or chili flakes to the herb butter for a spicier twist.

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower mash for a keto-friendly side.

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
