HOW TO COOK A FROZEN TURKEY BREAST IN A NINJA FOODI

Steps:

• Pour broth or water into the inner liner pot of your Ninja Foodi (or other pressure cooker).
• Put the rack into the pot with the grilling surface down.
• Remove packaging from turkey, including any pouches with gravy or giblets and remove.
• Pat turkey dry and place onto the rack in the Foodi, breast side up.
• Season the turkey breast as desired.
• Secure the lid on to the Foodi and set the vent knob to SEALING.
• Set the Foodi to PRESSURE and adjust the time (12 minutes per pound)
• Push start.
• After cooking cycle is finished, allow to naturally depressurize for 5 minutes then turn the vent knob to VENT to release the remaining pressure.
• Remove the lid and test with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat to test for doneness: 155 degrees as it continues to cook plus you'll be using the Air Crisp setting next.
• Brush the skin with healthy fat for cooking, or spray if you have an oil sprayer.

• Push start.
• Check after 6 minutes or so and add more time if necessary (remember to push start!)
• When browned to your liking, remove the turkey breast and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
