How to make a Turkey Breast in the Ninja Foodi ~ Pressure Cooked & Air Crisped

[@camwoo7143]

Really appreciate your honesty! Pressure cooking is very much a trial and error process, and unlike some other KZbinrs, I love how committed you are to finding the perfect timing for every recipe!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you!

Trial and error is a good way to describe it. My first whole chicken in my Ninja Foodi pressure cooker was a disaster. I misread the instructions and incorrectly calculated the time/weight, and I way over-cooked it. I ended up using most of it for chicken soup. The next chicken was perfect. I love my Ninja Foodi. I bought it after my oven died, and I was amazed at all its uses. I still need an oven for bread, pizza, and biscuits, but I do most everything else in the Foodi.

[@Thisisrafav]

I agree. The honesty is refreshing and helps us know what to do and what not. I’m going to tweak this a bit and report back!

I just picked up a turkey breast from my butcher today and am re-watching this video fo aa refresher. I cooked one last year following your tutorial as a guide and it turned out beautifully! Now I realized I forgot about the carrots and celery, but that's 9k....a sweet onion and garlic will do...thecsimpler the better for my hubby. Thank you!❤

Hello! I did your whole turkey recipe and it was amazing! I want to to do this recipe for Christmas but wanted to use the same brine and rub from your last video, was wondering how I would do the rub? Do I pressure cook it with the rub and then more for air crisp?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I would brine it and then rub, PC and save some of the rub for after PC to air crisp with. Basically, exactly what you said. LOL

Wow. Sorry I fell asleep and missed the live chat. Thanksgiving turkey was the first big meal I did in my Foodi last year. And you are absolutely right. I overcooked it to disappointment. Reduce time, reduce time, reduce time, just like you said. I just did a frugal turkey dinner Friday, and it came out much better. I did two turkey legs sous vide from frozen. 150 degrees water for five hours. Then I stripped the meat into a baking dish and put box stuffing over top (I know it’s a sin. Stop it!). I mixed some frozen veggies called Season Mix from Walmart into the stuffing with some frozen peas and carrots. Then I baked this 15 minutes in the Foodi on the default bake temp and time. I took this out as soon as it beeped and straight into the microwave just to keep it from getting cold. I immediately dropped biscuits into the hot Foodi for 12 minutes on the a Bake temp again. I made gravy by pouring the drippings from the sous vide bag into a can of gravy (I’ll do confession next week) and warmed that in the microwave after taking the turkey and stuffing out. The turkey was still hot enough to serve with the hot gravy, and the biscuits were hot enough to melt butter. Besides the 5 hours of sous vide, this took 45 minutes tops, and Mom didn’t know the stuffing or gravy were canned. Great video. I have no questions. I think a few people may be doing Thanksgiving on a matchbox scale like me, and perhaps that is a topic to consider in the future.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I just love reading your comments, they always make me smile! I have several recipes coming out that can be made in small servings for sure, so stay tuned. I just finished testing a really easy bread stuffing. It's basic, but everyone can add to it what they want. THROW THE BOX AWAY! LOL LOL I'm just kidding with you!

[@jennysteed5243]

[@jillhughes5212]

[@llewellynam]

Hi!! I just wanted to jump on and say THANK YOU for this awesome recipe! Yesterday (Thanksgiving 2020) was the first time I ever made Thanksgiving dinner (especially the Turkey!) because of COVID we decided to stay home so if we wanted dinner, it was up to me! Not going to lie, I was a bit intimidated to prepare a turkey, the last thing I want to do is ruin such as beautiful turkey who's life was sacrificed for me. I watched this video and the other video you referenced (the whole turkey one) at least a dozen times so that I could plan and prepare for all of my ingredients. I actually did a combination of both videos: I did a 6.37lb turkey breast (skin on) and used your brine (also made in the ninja foodi) for about 17 hours. Stuffed the turkey with the same ingredients and did a dry rub with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. I have the 8.5qt Foodi, so I had no issues getting my turkey breast in the pot with the low sitting rack (though I think it would have been a very tight fit if it was a whole bird. I did an 8 minute pressure cook, coming out to an internal temperature of 160deg F (I wanted to try to shoot for 155deg F because of it needing a little wiggle room for the tendercrisping). After the natural release, I took the turkey out and let it stand for about 20min on a rack. I had a hard time getting the compound butter under the skin (my turkey's skin was so delicate and kept tearing), so I tried to get as much as I could under but I think I ended up putting about half of the butter on top of the skin (I mixed just a little bit of olive oil in the butter to help protect the exposed areas of meat where the skin had torn. I did the tendercrisp for about 13 minutes, turning the turkey about 180deg about half way. I found that I still had some inconsistencies in the tendercrisping, as did you, but I chalked this up to unevenness with the butter application. Lastly, after the tendercrisping, I temped at 174deg F (a little over done), but decided to let the turkey set for 30 minutes before carving. I was a little worried about the turkey turning out dry, but let me tell you, this was the absolute softest, juiciest, most delicious turkey I've ever made and coming from someone that DOES NOT COOK, I was absolutely impressed and overjoyed that I did it myself! My only regret was not being able to invite friends and family over to enjoy, it was SOOOO good! And for that, I had to get on here and type out this long message and simply put THANK YOU! Thank you for this amazing recipe, thank you for giving me the tools/ingredients/education/confidence to make this awesome turkey, and thank you for making our lonely Thanksgiving away from family delicious!! I cannot wait to eat the left overs! Oh, and check out more of your videos of course!

[@suebean3873]

I roasted a small turkey breast for dinner tonight. I could not have asked for a better cooked breast. It was done to perfection. I kept turning it every 10 minutes or so, and I think I ROASTED it for approx. 30 minutes all told. I kept spraying it with olive oil and had put tons of nice spices all over it before so it was crispy and just absolutely delicious. While it was sitting under a foil tent, I AIR FRIED my homemade fries. I had made a gravy beforehand and so we had hot turkey sandwiches with homemade fries. Delicious. My husband was over the moon for it all.

I made my breast yesterday and brined it, I was able to fit it in my instant pot so while it was PC I could bake my stuffing, AF my fingerling potatoes and then AF the turkey. OMG, it was delicious. I didn't use your recipes (sorry) but thank you for providing the guidelines. And one of the best parts was there was so little dishes to clean, when i cook with the oven there is so may things left in the sink, not this time. All i had left besides our plates was the fryer basket, the silicone sling (thank you for that too) and a SS trivet and the IP and Ninja, both really easy to clean (there are only 2 of us, but still even then in the oven I'd have a greasy pan, a pan for gravy, a pan for stuffing, a pan for veggies and potatoes. [The stuffing is in the pan I baked it in] but I was able to cook my veggies with the stuffing, and make the gravy in the foodi very last). WOW, what a wonderful, easy day it was and OH so moist and tender, crispy skin and flavorful (I bought a brining kit on Amazon by Fire and flavor,used half of it so I can make another breast for Christmas). Thanks! Hope your day was as wonderful..oh and I PC the breast 6.5 lb for 8 mins with a 15 NR, was perfect

Very informative I like your videos a lot. I’m confused about roast/bake option, do we use the basket or the tray? Can we do roast for the turkey breast instead of pressure cooking?

I'm not sure what you mean by tray, but of course you can roast the turkey and skip the pressure cooking. I would cook on a lower temp and then increase to crisp the skin.

[@gregoryspangler5130]

Tried this tonight after brining the breast. Came out great!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@ScottySayz]

Try the dry brine method. Pat the breast dry, season it liberally over and under the skin with your favorites, stick it in the fridge for 8-24 hrs on a rack to dry out, continue with the cooking process. The salt helps dry out the skin but penetrates the meat. The longer in the fridge the better. If the skin rips when trying to apply the rub, use toothpicks to pin it back in place. The skin crisps up faster in the air fryer so that’s less time under the heat, less time under the heat means the chance you overcook it lessens. Crispy skin, moist meat, flavor abound. Win, win, win.

You know I do that with beef all the time, I'm not sure why I've never tried that with turkey before. I'll give it a try and thanks for the suggestion!

Love the foodie and really love your cooking channel ,but just followed cooking the turkey breast exactly as you described and came out under cooked. I had just under 7nlb. Turkey steamed for 10 mins. Natural release 15. Then air crisp for 14 mins and came out at 150 final temp. Just wondering are there differences in cooking times one ninja to another? Did salvage turkey but was surprised by temp after cooking times

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Did you mean to say steamed or PC'd? If you steamed it, that is the reason. If you PC'd it, then I'd be curious if you used an organic turkey or one without bones. I have gotten feedback that organic turkeys take longer to cook. Boneless turkey breasts definitely take longer. I never worry about undercooking poultry because you can finish cooking it to the correct temp with the TenderCrisp lid. Overcooking isn't reversible. I'm glad you got it cooked all the way.

[@theresafugate1528]

I made a nice 6lb. turkey breast today for Thanksgiving following all these instructions and used the butter compound. However part of it I was trying to use from memory and I had my bf cut the rib cage off before it was pressure cooked, then I didn't have much of a cavity for the veggies and oranges. It turned out great though, I pc'd it for 7 minutes. I do have a couple of questions. When I just let it natural release is the WARM feature supposed to be on? If I let the timer go to 10 minutes, I noticed the valve still wasn't decompressed and I couldn't open the lid so after the 10 minutes I did turn the knob to Vent. Not sure if this is the correct way to do this after a NR or not. Also can you say where you got that nice cutting board please Louise? Thank You so much for all your great videos. Hope you and your family had a wonderful THANKSGIVING!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That is fine that the keep warm is on, it won't do anything in the short time of natural release. Yes, you do turn the valve to vent after a timed natural release. If a recipe says full natural release, you just wait until the red button goes down on its own. Happy Thanksgiving!

Mine is new from this year 2021, and it does not get hot or warm on the outside at all. Of course when opened up though then it’s quite hot.

So I did cook the turkey breast, a fairly small one. Of course when I came to cook it, I couldn’t find your video so I did it from memory. I couldn’t stuff mine, cuz it was only one side of the turkey breast, not the whole one. I pressure cooked it for 10 minutes then another 5 I believe as it wasn’t cooked enough. I don’t think I P/C it enough. Then I also air fried it for a while, but it didn’t darken, but it was nice crisp, just not dark. I sliced it sideways afterwards, and it was so juicy and tasty. My husband loved it. I added a few tbsps of. The broth on it so keep it juicy. I also did let it sit in ice water with salt in it for an hour before cooking it. It was so tasty. Thank you so much.

Louise, just curious. Do you think the turkey breast would be moist if I use your brine method and roast/bake vs pc/ac? If so, how long to roast/bake?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I think the brine helps a lot. I also think if you don't overcook it like I did, you'll be fine. Pressure cooking really helps keep the breast moist. I would not recommend the bake/roast for this, I think it will really dry it out. But, that is just my opinion and I haven't tried it.

@@TheSaltedPepper Thanks, pressure cook it will be.

Could I use lemon wedges instead of orange wedges inside the turkey cavity?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yep!

[@gigilepore9616]

My family likes a lot of gravy. Could I use 2 cups of broth instead. As always, a great video.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

If you add more broth in the beginning, your time to pressure will be more and you will have to decrease your total cook time to adjust for that. This made about 3-4 cups of gravy. You can add more broth before you make the gravy, but you also need to add more fat, (unless your broth is homemade and has plenty) butter would work.

The season is upon us, dear Louise! I'm not sure you were totes happy with either of these (though I'm sure your modifications would help). I look forward to what's to come in the next few weeks on the Great Ninja Turkey Challenge. xoxo

I'm not sure I'll be doing another turkey this year.

[@gigilepore9616]

You mentioned making the gravy in the Foodie instead of in the Hot/Cold blender. How would we do that?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

same way, heat the stock and sprinkle on some flour. Whisk with a nylon whisk until incorporated. Repeat until it is thick enough. Keep the heat on medium.

[@douglashand2556]

@@TheSaltedPepper I have found the best method for gravey in the foodi is to sift the flour in. It helps with the flour lumps. Though you still want to do a small amount at a time. 7

Gotta get me one of those turkey breasts to try. Love turkey sandwiches with the leftovers.

I do too! Jeff and I just had a turkey sandwich with cranberry butter, it was so good!

Could one use parchment paper to get the turkey in lower?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The parchment would probably fall apart.

I don't see why not.

Happy Thanksgiving Louise! My wife picked up an 8 lb bone-in turkey breast we have the ninja foodi Deluxe 8 quart. Do you recommend 16 minutes under pressure? I'll be using that silicone sling that you used in your video clicked on the link that you recommend 😉 I plan on crisp it up as well! Plan on cooking yet tomorrow night. If you can't respond in time no problem at all. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and God bless

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Happy Thanksgiving! I have all my recommendations written in this post: thesaltedpepper.com/ninja-foodi-turkey-breast/ Depending on brand of turkey (that seems to make a difference, too) I think 16 minutes might be a little long if you plan on air frying it at the end. It's always better to undercook, even if you have to back under pressure or use steam to finish it.

[@edyoung6573]

Thank you so much I appreciate your quick reply you're the best somehow I miss that link I apologize you take care

When would be the best stage to inject the turkey breast?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I have never injected a turkey believe it or not, but I think you do it a few minutes before cooking. I'm not sure though.

[@Gamchlo]

Can you recommend an herb other than rosemary? I don't like it. I am a relatively plain eater. I usually do turkey breast in the slow cooker with only white wine and oil or butter. But,Cindy think I will try this.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I would either skip it or use thyme leaves instead. You can season with anything you like. Simple salt and pepper would be delicious, too!

[@Gamchlo]

Thank you!

You must have been reading my mind. After watching the whole turkey video, I was wondering how to cook a turkey breast. Looks fabulous as always.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I hope you love your turkey breast!

[@TheInsecureChef]

Hi. Does anyone have suggestions for doing a 6 pound, bone-in, turkey breast in the Ninja Foodi OL710? I'd guess that Steam&Crisp would be the way to go but as for the time and temperature, I'm lost. Thanks! UPDATE: Thanks anyway but it came out terrific with following procedure: Salted the 6 pounder and placed in a silicon sling ( wouldn't fit in the basket). Steam&Crisp, pre-set for poultry, temperature probe in the bird, turkey broth in pot with veggies, spices, etc. When temp got to 110°F, rotated bird to other side. Allowed to finish pre-set cycle at 170°F. Fantastic!

[@ArmchairChef]

im going to follow your directions for my little 4lb turkey breast. i watched an IP video that said 20min a lb for PC. I just don't believe it. ill try yours first. wish me luck......

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Is yours bone-in or boneless? Just an FYI, I've had some feedback that organic turkeys take a little longer to cook. 20 minutes a pound for turkey is quite a lot no matter what type of turkey you have, so I definitely would not follow that suggestion.

[@pitachang85]

I just bought the 6,5 qt Foodi and was wondering why using the pressure cooking function and not the bake/roast function?

[@jamesdiller1222]

I'm doing this thanksgiving. Going to wet brine night before. What temp do you think it should be when PC is done? If its under, should you do a bake to bring it to temp then AC?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I’d like my turkey breast to be about 150-155 before air Crisping. That’s just me, though. I hate overcooked food. Especially lean meats.

[@sweetnsouthern1984]

What about injecting it with butter and chicken broth before pressure cooking?
