Pressure Cooker Frozen Turkey Breast

Pressure Cooker Frozen Turkey Breast turns a solidly frozen roast into tender, juicy slices infused with herby sage, rosemary, and thyme. The vegetables and apple create a subtly sweet, aromatic base that finishes into a smooth, rich gravy. It’s a convenient centerpiece for holidays or weeknight dinners when you want comforting turkey flavor without the long oven roast.
