Instant pot turkey breast

(1/2) > >>

Cheryl:
I have a turkey breast in my freezer that I want to cook and slice for sandwich meat.  I know you can cook most meats from frozen using the Instant Pot.  Have any of you tried this with a turkey breast?  Should I use the poultry setting or manual?  How long? 

greyhoundgirl:
Haven't tried that, sorry. I do feel like almost any meat takes longer for the level of doneness I like as opposed to when the IP guide says it will be done. However, probably the Iron Chef people would say I overcook it all, lol. But my point was that the poultry setting as may not be long enough so you may need to adjust the time. You may have already figured that out, though--just not sure how long you have been IP'ing.

Maybe you can let us know what you did after the fact?

Cheryl:
Here is how I ended up doing the turkey:

I put it in a sink of cold water and let it thaw about 1-1 1/2 hrs.  It was bone-in and weighed 6.70 pounds. After that time only a few ice crystals remained.  (I changed the water every 30 minutes or so.)

I seasoned it with garlic, black pepper, and Greek seasoning mix.  I added 1 cup of water to the pot, put the turkey on the trivet, and cooked on manual 60 minutes, NPR.  I checked the temp and it registered from 195-201°. 

I hope it tastes as good as it smells!

greyhoundgirl:
Mmm--sounds delicious! How was it? Did it come out tender?

Cheryl:
It was perfect!  Falling off the bone tender.
