VideosCamerawoman Attempts To Make Thanksgiving Turkey
This pressure cooker turkey recipe delivers juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked meat every time, saving you hours compared to traditional roasting. Infused with fresh herbs, garlic, and a rich chicken broth base, it's an effortless way to impress your guests with tender turkey and crispy skin.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Youll need it ready for the turkey to finish crisping, trust me on this.
Take out turkey giblets, give the bird a good pat dry with paper towels. No soggy skin here.
Rub olive oil all over the turkey to get it glistening and ready to soak up those spices.
Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika then rub the whole mixture thoroughly on the turkey skin.
Stuff that turkey cavity with quartered onion, smashed garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme for flavor deep inside.
Place the turkey breast side up on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
Pour 2 cups of chicken broth into the roasting pan bottom for broth depth and steam during cooking.
Roast the turkey about 210 minutes, basting every 45 minutes with pan juices. Internal temp needs to hit 165 degrees F in the thighs thickest part.
Right when that float valve drops and you start quick release, you know its time to open and let that bird rest 20 minutes before carving.
Notes
Serve this turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy for a classic Thanksgiving feast. Leftover pan juices can be strained and used as a flavorful base for soups or sauces. Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
