One of my favorite ways to cook a moist, tender turkey breast for a main course or for sandwiches. Even though in a pressure cooker the skin doesn't get crispy, using this method it does become a beautiful golden brown as shown in the second photo. Recipe made using a 3 qt. electric pressure cooker. Here is my recipe for Honey Browned Butter Dill Carrots, as shown- https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/honey-dill-browned-butter-carrots.html?r=2
