The BEST Turkey You WIll EVER Make In Your Instant Pot

Instant Pot turkey is one of the fastest ways to cook a turkey breast, as well as capture and enhance the flavor of the turkey. By using the pressure cooker you will be able to get the flavor of roasting a turkey in less than half the time.

4 lb Turkey or Turkey Breast = 24 minutes + 10 minutes NPR
8 lb Turkey or Turkey Breast = 48 minutes + 10 minutes NPR

And I know it says Instapot! So sorry about that! We do know it is Instant Pot! ha ha ha!

[@debbishir5376]

Six Sisters' Stuff thank you ! I am subscribed and will be tuning in for more ! Just got my Instapot !

[@emersonkk33]

What? I love my Insta pot! lol. Seriously, when I first heard about them, I literally thought that is what they were called, until I researched them.

[@GeminiPeg]

Thank you , I don’t understand why people leave out the “n” in Instant. BTW, this is one of my favorite turkey recipes.

[@leannhall1395]

It's funny cause I just watched the new video that came out this week of the list of donuts and you said do not call it instapot then this video started playing I look up and see instapot lol made me actually laugh out loud

[@elizabeththomas6743]

I say instapot too! It just rolls off the tongue!

[@susiehash2202]

I just finished eating the best turkey breast I have ever cooked. My family loved it, too! Thank you for the best recipe! My turkey breast was 8 lbs, so I cooked it 50 minutes. I let it slow-release for 20 minutes, then covered it in foil for 15. Perfect! Thanks, again!

[@wpl6661]

You could take the leftover liquid in the pot, turn on the saute button and add a cornstarch slurry to make a sauce if you wanted.

[@austinp7866]

Brilliant

[@tlhop8374]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. And add a few turkey crumbles and some sliced mushrooms for good measure.

[@cardiffgiant02]

This turned out really good! I put my turkey on a trivet so it wasn’t sitting directly in the water. I also seared a little before cooking and then finished it off in the oven on “broil” for better colour and crispiness!

[@SixSistersStuff]

That sounds absolutely amazing!! I love that idea!

[@ingridmu1]

Ok. Can we take a moment to point out the quality of this video?! SO GOOD! And YES! I noticed. Added bonus, a great turkey recipe. Thank you!

[@Julian-do7bv]

Looks good and is super easy

[@robloxwyattvlogs1820]

Just finished carving up a full turkey breast I used you instant recipe on. Wonderful! My wife loves it, my son loves, and I'm sure my dogs would love it too if I were the "sharing" kind lol. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@mhagan8475]

Thanks looks yummy ❤

[@michellesmusings3834]

Could y’all maybe make a video showing how you clean your IP like the seal and lid and even the outside of it and the best products to use to clean it too please? Mine always looks so gunky.

[@mariapiac447]

Excellent recipe very good!! Thanks

[@connieannsvoice4855]

You read my mind! I’m hosting a small thanksgiving party and this is the perfect recipe for that! Yay!!!

Thank you sisters for this wonderful presentation & delicious looking chicken breast recipe! I;ll be getting getting an instant Pot very soon as a Christmas gift, I can hardly wait ! GOD bless all your family's.

[@reinaortega5982]

I just finished making this recipe! Put it in the broiler for an 10 mins and it crisped up really well. My family says its delicious! Thanks girls for this easy and tasty recipe. 😋 BTW I call it the insta pot too. 😜

[@Ninaxlove]

Another year, another yummy turkey!☺️☺️ Happy Thanksgiving!

[@SixSistersStuff]

Happy holidays!

[@maddyw2841]

Looks great!

[@lucilleball5970]

Hi Girls, I just watched this and like your recipe. Actually, my sister is thinking of getting an Instant Pot and had asked how to cook a turkey breast in it and if it is good. Well you know I thought of you and of course I am forwarding this to her to watch. I think you will have another subscriber. All of us sisters stick together, right. Thanks for a great video recipe tutorial. Many hugs to you.... Claudia

[@beckieirene]

It worked perfectly! So good.

[@jameswheeleriii]

Another great recipe with the Instant Pot. Thanks for making cooking with the Instant Pot a joy.

[@darcusann]

Cooking this now, only they’re stuffed with garlic and onions! Oh and I put a nice brown sear on all sides. Thanks! I had no idea how long to cook it! Great videos!

[@sparkleflair]

Sounds perfect! We do Thanksgiving at my sister-in-law's and don't have leftovers to eat, so a turkey breast will be just the right amount!

[@vickiwarner7667]

Looks wonderful! Where do I find your cheat sheet of times?

[@patfish1on]

I am sooo making this Thursday for my wife and I. I too am in Utah and love all your great videos.

[@sandydagostino3939]

I made this today! Thank you it was awesome !Happy thanksgiving ! It was the best moist turkey ever!

[@ScottVanZenGuitar]

How long should I cook 6 pounds?

[@barbarazeman2764]

I made a turkey breast tonight. Stuffing, cranberries and sweet potatoes. It was excellent. I think you could brown the side of turkey to make it nice and brown.

[@johnc8112]

Looks very good, I'm going to make this week. I enjoy your channel, just bought a pressure cooker the best thing thing since slice bread

[@michelleflores053171]

This turkey was so succulent, I used a Butterball Turkey that was breast meat only still on the bone, and the meat fell off the bone as I was cutting it. My family and I were all blown away by how delicious the turkey was. Thank you so much for this recipe it definitely saved Thanksgiving 2020 from being a disaster. I can't thank you all enough.

[@LexCoop5]

Hi did you put it in the oven to brown it afterwards?

[@SAlex-tr4md]

Awesome can’t wait to try !

[@jettro8523]

Looks good! I'm going to try this out.

[@Cattitude48]

Looks delicious. Perfect for just the two of us. You two are fun to watch 🤗

[@jeannet9592]

Yum! Your sister's story about the turkey sliding on the floor reminded me of a children's book called Thanksgiving at the Tappleton's by Eileen Spinelli and Maryann Cocca-Luffler.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I made this this Thanksgiving, slightly different seasoning but pretty much the same and it was amazing. Are usually spend hours making brine and soaking turkeys overnight. This was the first time ever tried just a turkey breast and this really was about the best I’ve ever had. After taking it out of the instant pot I threw on some foil and put it on the low setting for my broiler for a while to get an nice texture and Browning.

[@Perfect_Storm4]

Did you do the 10 min NR still if your doing the broiler? I have a ninja foodi that I thought about putting on the crisper afterwards and didn't want to over cook it.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

@@Perfect_Storm4 I really don’t remember, I probably just put it in the broiler for a couple minutes just to dry the top out. It was very very moist so I wasn’t worried about over cooking it at all. I do that with most of the meat I take out of an instant pot like ribs or anything like that just to give it a little texture

[@gailcoleman3351]

Made this this morning. Little different spices. I made a half turkey breast (2lbs) I did it for 15 minutes, nr. Was very tender and good.

[@ATbitfiddler]

I’m going to keep it in the net but this is my go to for Thanksgiving on Thursday. Cream corn and spinach soufflé to accompany

[@jodihanneman5202]

Finally a turkey recipe that I want to try. No more dry turkey!!

[@vickytooley5945]

Thank you ladies! I’m definitely trying this recipe😊

[@patmitchell2389]

Thanks I needed this recipe and I trust y’all for the recipe. Happy thanksgiving

[@jonasaras]

I've made this for several Thanksgivings now. Be sure to give your frozen turkey ample time to thaw, perhaps a day longer than what the package recommends. Cooking for 6 minutes/pound is about correct. Although the given seasoning is very good, you can experiment with other seasoning blends. I use a Cajun seasoning: 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp cayenne

[@julieanneprice7865]

What do you do with the liquid??

[@teresah5318]

That looks amazing! Can't wait to try it! Love your channel! Thanks for sharing.

[@tinalindsey1598]

Thank you!!!!!! You'll be featured at my Thanksgiving table this year!

[@paulcarey9248]

Now that looks really succulent

[@kaslyn2007]

Do you have a cookbook with all your instant pot recipes?

[@FlippinJunkie]

They have several! Their recipes are also all over Pintrest!

[@SixSistersStuff]

kaslyn2007 our Instant Pot Cookbook will be coming out in September!!!!

[@siriuset]

Would you recommend putting the cooked turkey under the broiler for a few minutes to give the outside a little crispiness?

[@181Becky]

I do this! I broil it for about 10 minutes or until the skin has a good color and crispness. My husband says the turkey stays most, and he likes the skin crispy.

[@cookingwithalittlespice]

Great job I think it works out well that you added your sister to your videos

[@fritzj6803]

How do I brown the turkey after cooking it in the instant pot?

[@antoniajagodic]

I love Turkey and this recipe is to die for 🥰🥰

[@onedogbowen]

Thanks so much...

[@raineycharles9]

Gonna try this tomorrow! Mmmm!🥰

[@sharonmarks7192]

Is there enough juice left in the pot to make a gravy for the mashed potatoes?

[@charlesreed5506]

How long should you sauté if you choose to do that?

[@KimVHD]

Could you use the liquid left in that to make seasoned mashed potatoes?

[@jandrake6628]

Yes or you can make gravy

[@TheDabbinDave]

What if you wanted to go longer and use Low or Medium Heat with Low Pressure? I’m making these little Jenni-O Savory Roasts. There are two in a 1 1/2 pound package, each is about the size of your fist.

[@jodiekingsley5181]

Can you do a hole chicken i just buy my pot. Where do i fone viedos happy thanksgiving

[@beverly.disneygranny6304]

That was so cool. Thank you. Xoxox

[@AlwaysBelieve777]

I’m going to give it a try!!

[@Stephdd76]

Any suggestions for frozen bone in?

[@carlosdanj]

Great video girls ..i would of loved to see you cook a whole Turkey legs and all can you do this?

[@affliction6911]

Thank you so much for the recipe ladies ☺❤

[@lindajohnsen5170]

Please do a whole turkey- stuffed if possible. I’m determined to do a small 8-9 lb stuffed turkey this year in the Pot. I don’t care about crispy skin ( could always put it under the broiler for a few minutes if I did), but I really think the taste will be exquisite with the pressure mixing the stuffing with turkey this way. I’m sooo glad I had subscribed when I did; I was literally petrified using my Pot at first, but now you can’t pry it from my fingers- all thanks to you!! Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🤗

[@jandrake6628]

I have a 10 quart and my 13 pound turkey will not fit. You would have to do a 10 pounder or less

[@Joani161]

Check out Pressure Luck Cooking - Instantpot turkey, stuffing and gravy.

[@CelticBadBoyPoet7]

Small Turkeys Tend to Have More Bone Then Meat 😁

[@SonofDarnell]

Hey on the juice that was left after you cook the turkey breast could you use that to make a gravy to pour over the turkey and to pour over the mashed potatoes?

[@EM-ps4kr]

We need to see you eating it so we know it’s good 😄. it certainly looks good and so simple.

[@h.a890]

Can i marinate the turkey breast overnight? I have the duo crisp lid instant pot so after pressuring the turkey breast can i use the lid to crisp it ?

[@rosemariekury9186]

It looks wonderful. Think I’ll try it. And what size do you have? I think I have the same model.

[@enokido20]

Does the temp need to be on high or low?

[@lindadavila5989]

Love the double dialog.

[@anngreene451]

The recipe that I printed, says to use the trivet in the IP. What does raising the turkey off the bottom of the pot do? Or does it even matter? Thanks.

[@carolecrystal5907]

Wondering if a gravy can be made with those juices !??? Yummy cooking!! Thank you !!

[@tileman1814]

Yep use a little corn starch and water!

[@PEPSIKERR]

If you let it sit for 15 minutes for a natural release, what is the purpose of it sitting after you take it out of the instant pot? Is it not the same thing? Great video. Will have to give this a try.

[@donnadewey8678]

When coming down from pressure, it still continues to cook. Letting it rest for 10 minutes or so lets the juices settle so it remains moist and tender.

[@jennischaffer7401]

Hi there. I’m curious to know how much time would you add if the turkey was not boneless?

[@TheZestySquid]

If it is a full bird that will fit in your instant pot, around 7-10 pounds than 40-50 minutes.

[@DiningWithTara]

You both are highly entertaining ❤️

[@lmorgan1028]

Thank you!

[@kansasboy011]

I'm not a big turkey fan either, but that looked great!

[@evelynwerker9402]

What is the cooking time for if you leave the strings on it or if you used bone in breast

[@steve.n3685]

I was hoping yall would have a recipe for this lol! The wife still has no idea where I get my insta pot recipes😅🤣😂 DAD WINNING

[@SixSistersStuff]

Great idea!!

[@steve.n3685]

Hell yea. My man!!

[@joannsimpson9568]

IF YOU LEAVE THE STRING ON DO I SET THE IP LONGER OR NO? I am going to just do one for sandwiches and plan to leave string on?!

[@marionbartley214]

I love❤ this Turkey receipe in the insta pot . So easy and fast, but the best part it's going to be juicy . I'm going to give this one a try . Also I can see making chicken breast this way with adjusting the Cook time. Thanks for posting

[@ktkacer8393]

also hoping to see airfryer as well as instant pot recipes.

[@SixSistersStuff]

Coming soon!

[@ScottCooper136]

Kristen, if you have a eight pound turkey breast, can you layer it? Or, should I just do two batches? Also, would I double the spice recipe?

[@janesmith8914]

Will the turkey breast recipe work with Turkey Cutlets? I can’t find turkey breast at any of the supermarkets near me.

[@Catherine_AZ]

Can you make gravy with what’s left in the instant pot after you take the turkey out?

[@lorimast]

Could you make a ham in IP? That's what I make for Thanksgiving.

[@ScottCooper136]

Can you do more than one layer for a heavier bird?

[@LauraStClair-ce8mv]

I’m new to this instant pot craze. Could you cook the meat on the bottom and use the insert pots also at the same time?

[@colacurciolaw7745]

Yep!

[@smileawhile3788]

Have you ever had a problem with the meat burning when you put it straight on the bottom then add liquid? Every time I've tried so far, the burn light goes on and the unit shuts off

[@migdaliaquinones5826]

Nice how long to thaw it??

[@SixSistersStuff]

Migdalia Quinones I stuck it in the fridge 3 days before filming just in case!

[@nsosa1000]

Can you throw the turkey breast frozen in the instant pot

[@lawnmowerman2199]

Thank you so much for your many videos! I'm just starting out and learning to cook. My question is how many minutes per pound of turkey? I see you set it for 24 or 25 min....how much did the meat weigh and where did you get the turkey? You mentioned cutting it apart and I could see on the meat what looked like mesh/string marks. Sorry to everybody for what are probably very basic questions. Thank you for your response! Please have a blessed day and stay safe & healthy

[@austinp7866]

It was 6 - 8 minutes per pound.

[@austinp7866]

And she also said that she likes to cook hers longer so she went 8 minutes. Which means her turkey is 3 pounds.

[@michellenorwick4956]

Can you do that much in a 6 quart instapot?

[@SixSistersStuff]

Michelle Norwick yes! Ours is a 6 qt!

[@creatrixcorvusarts876]

Does it have to be thawed? Is there a way to cook it from frozen?

[@maryregan6114]

You can IP many meats from frozen (I do chicken all the time), and I would assume you could do a turkey breast too. I would google 'instant pot frozen turkey breast' and plenty of food blogs will come up providing timing and step-by-step. Good luck!

[@crickettgreen2670]

Instant pot has a new model that will Air fry as well so you can cook your turkey breast with with the pressure cooker part Pop the top off pop to do air fryer top on punch the button broil it for just a few minutes and you got the best of both worlds

[@lovdolls]

Thanks for this as I might end up making it over a full turkey for two people. You and your sister are so lovely enjoy your videos and teaching me about the Instant Pot. One thing did you ever think about pulling your hair back I think your faces would show up more which would be a plus?

[@ScottVanZenGuitar]

How long should I cook 6 pounds?

[@merrillfinlayson2180]

How about tasting it and tell us how it tastes?

[@SixSistersStuff]

Sometimes we forget!!!! ha ha! I will tell you - it is my new favorite way of cooking turkey. It is SO good and not dry whatsoever!

[@Hondacivicis5150]

If you were going to do this on the Instant Port Duo. How long would you crisp the turkey?

[@darrellbowen1582]

Yum

[@Perfect_Storm4]

So if I have 13 pounds of turkey breast (4 - 3.3 pounders) it would be 13x6 minutes right for cook time then right?

[@Perfect_Storm4]

Sorry nvm I now read yhe description and it explains more with bigger turkey than your 3 pound from the video.

[@xXfilakiaXx]

Hi! My husband used the IP and somehow the release pin flew off the lid and we can't find it in the kitchen (think it went under the stove) can they piece be replaced?!
