Homemade Thanksgiving Turkey Breast
Homemade Thanksgiving Turkey Breast
Prep Time: 45 Minutes
Servings: 4-6
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 lb Turkey Breast (*thawed*)
3/4 cup of Chicken Stock
1/4 cup of Softened Butter or Olive Oil
1/4 cup of Favorite Seasoning Blend
1/4 cup of melted butter (last step)
Bunches of Rosemary for Garnish
DIRECTIONS
At least 6 hours ahead of time:
1. Put all crust ingredients and tools in the freezer for 5 minutes. In a
large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using pastry blender cut in the butter (diced or grated) until crumbly. Stir in water slowly until the mixture the dough folds into a ball.
Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight at least 4-5 hours.
1. Prepare the turkey: remove butcher’s twine if desired. Thoroughly rinse the turkey breast under running water. Pat dry. Make sure it is thawed.
2. Using 1/4 cup of the butter or olive oil (we used butter), rub turkey until all sides are coated in butter . Sprinkle liberally with seasoning and continue to rub until all sides are coated in seasoning.
3. Pour water or stock in the bottom of your multi-cooker pot (add an onion, garlic, carrots if you want/have), and add the multi-cooker rack. Place turkey on top of rack and top with lid, slide to lock.
4. Cook the turkey: Cook on the ‘Pressure Cook’ function for 35 minutes. Once the cook time has ended, allow pressure to naturally release for 15-20 minutes (follow your machine’s instruction booklet-usually means do NOT touch the steam valve for 10 minutes once timer beeps). Use a thermometer to double check that your turkey has reached 165F.
5. Remove turkey from multi-cooker. To add a bit of browning to the top, you can place the turkey breast on a roasting rack/pan or sheet pan, baste with juices from the multi-cooker, and brush with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter and broil 10-15 minutes. Then you’re ready to serve on a platter!
6. ENJOY!! :)
COOKING WITH A MULTI-COOKER
If your not sure how long to cook, the general rule is about 6 minutes per pound
*Key to keeping the turkey moist is the natural release for the last 10 minutes and allowing it to sit for about 30 minutes or more before carving.*
DON’T HAVE A MULTI-COOKER?
Bake the turkey about 15 minutes per pound at 325 degrees. (Refer to the chart below)
The above times are based on an oven setting of 325 °F.
