Remove all packaging from the turkey including gravy packet. Make sure to leave the netting on.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and use a fork to mix until all ingredients are combined into a rub.
Using a clean hand or utensil, rub the butter mixture all over the turkey breast.

Preheat a large heavy skillet to medium-high heat. Place the turkey in the pan and leave for 2-3 minutes or until the skin is golden brown. Repeat on all sides.
Pour 2 cups broth into the Instant Pot and place in the trivet.
Place the turkey breast on top of the trivet and secure the lid.
Set the Instant Pot on HIGH PRESSURE for 30 minutes.
When cooking is complete, allow to naturally release for about 5 minutes then manually release the remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the turkey from the Instant Pot and remove the netting.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Heat the broiler in the oven.
Place the turkey breast on the prepared pan and into the oven 4-inches below the broiler. Allow the skin to crisp for 1 1/2-2 minutes a side. Turn the turkey breast with tongs to brown on all sides. NOTE: watch closely so the skin does not burn.

Once you have removed the turkey and trivet from your instant pot leaving only the drippings and broth, turn on the “sauté” function.
Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk to combine and make a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry into the liquid and whisk often for about 5-6 minutes until thickened. NOTE; will continue to thicken as it sits after cooking.
Serve over turkey and enjoy!
