Hello Friends!

Wow! The month is speeding by and it is time to think about Thanksgiving! This is a perfect recipe for a family or Friendsgiving with six people or less. It will still give you plenty of turkey and you don’t have to heat up and take space in the oven with this recipe. 

If you haven’t tried a turkey in your multicooker or instapot, I would definitely recommend it. This is also perfect for C Christmas and other celebrations.

What is nice about this recipe, is that y0u don’t have to use your oven to make a turkey.

Here is a list of main ingredients for this recipe:

Turkey Breast – of course, they are the star of this show. I use a bone-in turkey breast from the meat section. I used a seven-pound breast for this recipe. You want to figure about one pound per person and the largest turkey breast I usually see is 8 pounds.

Broth – I always use chicken broth because it is always on sale this time of year. You can use turkey broth or beef broth if that is all you have.

Butter – I would use either salted or unsalted. Unsalted will let you control the amount of salt, so it is a personal preference.
