Occasionally, my family gets in the mood for a Thanksgiving dinner when it’s not Thanksgiving. However, I don’t want to cook a whole turkey. This Instant Pot turkey roast is the perfect solution.
In about 1 hour and 30 minutes, you can be enjoying this Instant Pot turkey roast along with enough turkey gravy to serve along with some mashed potatoes.
It all begins by mixing together a spice rub for the turkey roast. This spice mix includes salt, sage, rosemary, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. It’s a perfect combination of flavors for the turkey.
Next you add some chicken broth to the Instant Pot and place the trivet in there too. Place the onion, celery, and garlic around the trivet. The place that turkey roast on top of the trivet. Then you pour some melted butter of the roast and sprinkle with that spice mixture. Close and cook on manual high for 55 minutes. Once finished cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then remove any excess pressure manually.
Remove the turkey to a platter and cover with some foil. Use a slotted spoon to remove and of the onion and celery pieces. Whisk in the gravy mix into the liquid in the Instant Pot and turn on to sauté mode. Bring to a low boil and cook for about 5 minutes until gravy has thickened. All that is left is to slice the roast and serve.
