Lemon Garlic Butter Turkey Breast
Have you ever tried to eat a slice of dry turkey? It’s not fun. It turns out the secret to juicy turkey breast is cooking it in the Instant Pot! Oh, and instead of a turkey that takes literally all day to cook, this recipe takes less than an hour!
The flavors are incredible. Tart, fresh lemon juice, and the aromatic garlic mix with the creamy butter to create a Heavenly eating experience. This will become your new favorite way to prepare turkey.
Instant Pot Turkey Breast
If you don’t own an Instant Pot, get one. This will become your new favorite kitchen gadget. One whole turkey breast can feed up to 8 people. A whole turkey breast fits easily inside the Instant Pot. You can literally feed two families in less than an hour.
This pressure cooker is a magical thing.
Easy Low-Carb Gravy
The gravy that comes with the turkey breast is not going to be low-carb. Flour is probably the main ingredient. If you want a low-carb gravy, then make the one from my Swedish Meatball Recipe.
That gravy comes out thick and creamy – just use chicken broth instead of beef broth so that the flavors match the turkey.
Another option is to use the low carb keto gravy I have included below.
