TURKEY COOKERS NO OIL RECIPES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 450°F.
• Place the 2 onion halves next to each other in the center of a roasting pan. Line up the carrots, celery and parsnip on either side. If using the garlic, tuck it in among the other vegetables.
• Rinse the turkey breast and pat dry with paper towels. Working your hand carefully under the skin of the turkey to avoid tearing it, separate the skin from the meat on both sides of the breast, but do not detach it. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Rub butter over the meat under the skin on each side of the breast. Season with the salt and pepper. Pull the skin down to cover the meat. If necessary, stick toothpicks through the skin and the ribs to secure the skin. Set the breast, skin side down, on top of the vegetables. Pour in 3 cups of the broth. Roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Turn the breast to rest on one side and baste with the liquid in the pan. Roast for another 30 minutes. Turn the breast to rest on the opposite side and baste again with the pan liquid. Roast for another 30 minutes. Turn the breast skin side up and baste again. If the liquid has begun to evaporate, add the remaining 1 cup broth to the pan. Roast for another 30 minutes, baste and then continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part away from the bone registers 165°F, 2 to 2 1/2 hours total at 20 minutes per pound. If the top of the breast begins to overbrown, tent loosely with aluminum foil.
• Remove the turkey breast from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for 20 minutes. (The internal temperature of the meat will rise to 170°F during the first 10 minutes of resting, and the juices will settle.) Carve into slices and serve immediately. Serves 10 to 12.

Steps:

• Prepare Spice Rub: In a small mixing bowl combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, ground mustard, salt, and pepper.

• 25-Minute Cook Time: Close the Instant Pot, set the pressure release valve to 'Sealing' and cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook', 'High Pressure' for 25 minutes.
• FULL NPR: Once the cooking time has completed, allow for a Full Natural Pressure Release which can range from 12 to 15 minutes. After the NPR has finished and the pin has fallen, open the pot.
