Two days before the occasion

  • Thaw the frozen turkey breast in the fridge. Remove giblets. When ready, follow the next instructions.

  • Drain the brine water and pat dry the turkey breast using a paper towel. Put the turkey on the trivet and brush with the rub.
  • Put the butter, salt, garlic, and onion powder, Perfect Italian pinch in a small bowl and melt it in the microwave for ten seconds. Keep an eye on it as the mixture will splatter when it is microwaved for a long time. Remove the bowl from the microwave oven and mix to melt completely.

Set up the Instant Pot

  • Put the inner pot into the base and add four cups of water.
  • Pat dry the turkey breast using a paper towel. Put the turkey on the trivet and brush it with the rub. Make sure to rub the turkey all over. If you have leftover rub pour it inside the turkey breast. Transfer the turkey to the inner pot.
  • Cover with the pressure cooker lid. Set the pressure to HI and set the timer to forty minutes.
  • Quickly Release When Done.

Brown the Turkey

  • Remove the pressure cooker lid and replace it with the air fryer lid.
  • Push the air fryer setting. Set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and set the timer to twenty-five minutes. Press start.
  • Open the lid and check if it is brown enough. Add more time if needed.
