Solution
========
You may invoke TAB by doing:
{C-q TAB}
Next solution
=============
You could locally and temporarily bind key to TAB:
{M-x local-set-key RET TAB self-insert-command RET}
Then your TAB would give TAB character: OK?
Next solution
=============
Globally:
(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") #'self-insert-command)
