I had to try this (frozen) and everyone loved it! I too wondered about the gravy packet but I ran it under cold water a few seconds and it popped right off when I slid a paring knife between the packet and the breast. I also left the string wrap on since it was frozen onto the turkey. The only issue I had was that the seasonings didn't stick to the frozen breast. I rubbed on what I could and dumped the rest in. The gravy was thinner than I like it but when I reheated it the next day it was thicker. I found the gravy to be very tasty and not too sweet as one reviewer said. All in all great recipe without changing a thing. I'm now wondering what to do with the leftover "veggies"--use in soup maybe?

For starters I love the idea of cooking turkey in the instant pot however I am not sure about cooking frozen turkey or chicken in the instant pot. This is the second time I have cooked frozen poultry in the instant pot and the texture is strange. Is it under cooked? Is it cooked? Overcooked? My thermometer read a safe temperature but the middle was pink while the ends were dry & over cooked. The flavors were ok. The rosemary overpowered the entire dish definitely cut that in half. I follow the recipe exactly and for how expensive a boneless butterball turkey is I will not be cooking it in the instant pot again.

I made it exactly as written and it was very tasty! The whole family enjoyed it. I did allow the turkey breast to defrost just slightly so it would be moist on the outside. This allowed the seasoning to stick better. Will definitely make this again!

well I used the "frozen" turkey and followed the directions setting the instant pot for 50 mins and it did not cook all the way through. the ends appeared to be cooked but a couple slices in it was still raw in the middle. I put it back in with broth and did it for 15 more mins. cooked through this time but the overall taste was a little lacking or maybe that's just how turkey is supposed to be... since we only eat this during holidays... will think twice about doing this one again...

This made a good turkey. I love that you can cook something from frozen in the Instant Pot! The apple made the gravy oddly sweet so I will skip that next time.

I followed the directions exactly. Completely raw in the centre when cooked as directed. I have never been dissatisfied with an allrecipes recipe before.
