- Allow for a natural pressure release. Let the bird rest for a couple minutes before removing and transferring to a serving tray.
Notes
- Substituting a different cooking liquid can help infuse flavor into your turkey. We like using broth or even white wine.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
- If the skin of the turkey breast is crispy enough to suit your taste, put the cooked turkey breast on a baking sheet and pop it under the broiler for a minute or so, watching closely, to let the skin brown up.
