Question about turkey breast in instant pot

[SheltieLover]

Hi All,

Anyone know what causes turkey breast to be rubbery when cooked in instant pot?

Tyia!

1. How long did you cook it, what setting, any fluid in there?

3. 6 min / lb & 10 min natural release

Done with orange, lemon, onion, herbs de provance & 1.5 cups water or chicken breast.

Ideas?

My wall over's thermost sticks at times, so I'm not willing to risk another holiday meal.

2. Releasing the pressure too fast

meat can get rubbery if you release the pressure too soon. If possible, it's usually best to let the pressure release naturally.

4. I did

Also tried both Butterball & Aldi brands.

6. I've not tried it, but I had bookmarked these instructions awhile back:

(I have to order a trivet as I think I accidentally threw my out with the packaging several years ago when I bought mine as I never found it)/

10. Here is one for a boneless breast

Note: she uses 6 min/lb and Mary uses 8min. Go with Mary. She was more accurate when I did a whole chicken.

14. She didn't go into the "boneless" like I thought she would

but I guess it's the same, i.e., 6 min. per lb. She's funny, though. I use youtube a lot for recipes. Sometimes it helps to see what's happening.

You're welcome!

15. Sounds the same 6 min/lb

I thought it might be something with release time, but I did natural release.

Ty again!

11. I follow Mary on YouTube.

She is a wealth of kitchen information. Her channel is like having a mom around to talk to.
