Ingredients

1 6-7 lb bone-in turkey breast (thawed)

1 12.7 oz bottle Allegro marinade

5 oz Worcestershire sauce

12 oz Soy sauce

9 oz Ponzu sauce

2 oz Wasabi

2 green onions, chopped

Directions for Brining

Place thawed turkey breast, meaty side down, into large stock pot (helpful to add the Instant Pot rack to the bottom of stock Pot first).

Add all ingredients into large stock pot, then add enough water to cover the breast.

Place pot in refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.

Directions for Cooking

Add rack to Instant Pot, then pour in about 2 cups of the brine.

Cover the Instant Pot, set valve to "sealing", press the Manual button, and set the timer to cook for 25-30 minutes (25 minutes for 6 lbs, 30 minutes for 7 lbs turkey).

Allow to natural release for 10-15 minutes, then release pressure.

Notes

This recipe is just a starting point. We would have loved to have more ponzu sauce on hand; instead we added some additional soy sauce plus squeezed some lemon slices and added the lemons to the brine.
Also would like to add some more wasabi next time!
