For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the frozen turkey breast in the Instant Pot using the Saute function before adding the other ingredients. Be sure to pat the turkey dry before browning to promote even browning. Adjust the cooking time depending on the size and thickness of the frozen turkey breast. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If you prefer a smoother gravy, consider using an immersion blender to blend the strained liquid before thickening with the flour slurry. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor of the turkey breast. Smoked paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder would all be delicious additions.
